Pink Floyd – The Wall

So I picked this up at my local record store and this was the 4th copy of the Wall with the 36183 catalog number that I had in my possession. The other three were 1979 copies, two of those were promo copies that I sadly had to return (their disc did not have the demo stamp on the labels). The 1979 pressings I have come accross sounded amazing but were sadly on really noisy vinyl which was especially distracting in quiter sections. I was really burnt on trying to find a clean copy but this copy has really filled the void of an amazing sounding copy. I compared it to my 1979 Pitman by recording it through my Universal Audio Volt 276 to my computer, I did close A/B comparisons and they sound EXACTLY the same (other than the nosie). Even the waveforms were identical but the 1982 repress is on wayyyyy quiter vinyl, I mean its not dead silent but its a massive diffence in of listenabilty. So if you're looking for an awesome all analog cut that uses the same metalwork as the 1979 US pressings, I HIGHLY recommend the 1982 repress, it's absolutley amazing.

I've had this pressing for about 10 years now and maaan it sounds awesome. My copy is really quiet so that helps quite alot. Agreed with everyone that this is a great pressing if you don't have or cant for some reason get an OG version.

I have this press in near perfect condition not one scratch. Listened in its entirety very good!

Agree, this seems like a very solid release, I can’t imagine one of the more expensive pressings sounding much better. Found it on a VG+ copy and would honestly be NM if someone didn’t tape the sticker to it

Sounds solid. I don't have any of the "go to" copies of this. But i'll say a clean copy of this sounds more than acceptable.
