Paul Simon – Graceland

Very good issue, sounds excellent and bright in the right places

The sound of this is as great as all the reviews below suggest. I'm giving it 4 stars, however, due to some soft surface noise and a skip in You Can Call Me Al that is very persistent, unfortunately. It's not a deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying

Exceptionally good sounding vinyl with low price tag. Very close to Analogue Production level.

I'm fairly certain this is the variant I have, however the barcode on the sleeve is not in a rectangular white box as shown in the images. The cream color is the background throughout. Separate variant?

Sounds decent and clear to me but you better get the 'music on vinyl' one, much better emphasis on the bass while it's still really detailed, the global listening experience is more enjoyable than this one.

My copy has nothing printed on the label on either side, just the WB logos. Kinda cool

This is my featured vinyl for this week on my blog, A.D.R.E.W. (A Different Record Every Week) link below...

The concept is simple - to share a new record from my vinyl collection every week along with a short review including, my favourite track, a suggested listening environment and further related recommendations. My aim is to get more people listening to albums again, the way they were intended to be played.

Record sounds great, mastered very well - unfortunately mine arrived new, wrapped and full of scratches on Graceland. The track is full of skips and loops, meaning that the record is completely unlistenable. Very big shame, as the mastering is great.

my copy is a variant with Matrix / Runout : 1 25447-2 SRC=15 ARC *M15 S2

I'm not going to rate this because I can only rate my copy. It came still in shrink (not sealed, it was cut along the open seam) and looked pristine, but there is a LOT of noise and sibilance. I think someone played this with a damaged stylus. Very disappointing
