Tipper – Broken Soul Jamboree

Waiting for another pressing of this masterpiece, please make it happen.

Would have been perfect, except I have a similar problem to another reviewer where I have what seems like paper pressed into it. However, it hasn’t seemed to affect the noise on first listen. Love the remastering and new sounds in this project. Soundscape is so full, and so immersive!

I'm going to be far more critical than others here, but this release barely ed my threshold for not exchanging for a refund. It sounds great, yes, the pressing is thankfully great! However, my sleeve has tons of fine line scratches over it that are visible when closer to it. These are even inside the gatefold, and I bought it sealed. The worst part was my D-side had a "large" chunk of hard whiteish plastic (size of a pea) pressed right up along the disc and I'm lucky I was able to remove it without damaging the disc and that it did not scratch during transit. These faults all come down to factory packaging, and whoever did this one did a very poor job imo. Poly-lined sleeves would've been welcome too.

Agree with others here; big big sounds comin off these plates! Tipper is such a sound nerd, i’d expect nothing less. This is buy on sight!

Agree with the other comments. This version sounds extra extra special! Such a great record :-)

This pressing is something special. Highly encourage anyone into Tipper to pick it up ASAP! You won't be disappointed... unless you wait another 6 months and find them listed for $100+.

This hits different. First, the mastering. I'm not sure if Tipper has remastered it, but he definitely did MORE than just remastering these tracks. I listened to it the first time yesterday (full playthrough) and I noticed the soundscapes were more... how to say it; widener and sometimes different than the tracks were originally. Some lead synths have been changed a little bit (on Cuckoo for example) which I interpret as Dave putting in so much love and care for his tracks. I have the idea that the changes he made on this release were made because in this last decade he might have learned so much more about producing, that the sounds he had in his head originally when creating BSJ, were to difficult for him back then to create in a DAW / synth.

Algae Bloom in Seven is another example of not just remastering, but putting extra love and attention in a track. The extra drumloops Dave put under some parts of the track just sounds absolutely fantastic and gives me soo much more energy to vibe along the tracks.

Big word up to the cover and quality of the vinyl itself. It feels really rigid and the sound quality is just a-ma-zing. No cracks or anything yet. Still the best album of the last decade IMHO, just the completeness of this album is beyond this world.

Absolutely fantastic pressing. Dead quiet, very dynamic and the bass hits. Super excited to have this on vinyl with the addition of Algae Bloom in Seven.
