Un disco veramente buonissimo che non si può nn mancare in ogni collezion
Updated 3/25/23 Tried my luck with a third copy after refunding the last two. This one’s spotless. Not sure if later pressings are better or if the first batch just had more issues, but my third try paid off. Finally got a copy with no surface noise or defects. Happy to have it! -------------- Terrible press on this one. First copy had underfilled sections and general surface noise on both sides. Swapped it for another, but Side B has dimples causing skips. Both were cleaned before playing. Sending this one back too. Really bummed. Wouldn’t recommend unless you get lucky with a clean copy.
One of my all-time favorite albums. The original UK Beggar’s Banquet pressing sounds incredible—slightly bright, maybe, but still way better than the US Sire reissue I owned. Ian’s vocals are flawless, and Billy Duffy’s guitar playing is lush and delicious. Pure gold.
Having no original pressing to compare it to, it certainly sounds better than my cassette version. It’s a solid mid-range affair…and I’m onboard with the crowd’s consensus. I did however give my copy an ultrasonic clean, and it got rid of the surface noise. My disc played smooth and fairly quiet, but I’d really dig to see an audiophile pressing of this with an original tape as the master, cut by a Bellman or KG.
I’d been hooked by the dark digital side when I first bought this, so comparing it back-to-back with reissues like this isn’t easy. But I’ve noticed mid-'80s pressings tend to hit around 10+dB louder than today’s repressings. Still, it’s flat and clean and quiet—just crank it up, it’s Rock & Roll after all…
