How is the quality of the Russian pressings? You say!

I've got Pixies by "the Pixies" on vinyl lovers and it sounds and looks perfect.

Toni, How is the quality of the Russian pressings?

... to get it straight:
Vinyl Lovers is a Russian label.
Their records are pressed in Europe in the Czech Republic.
These are not "Russian pressings" !

Pressings are flat, 180g, good ! - but not as good as, e.g., the Speakers Corner pressings by Pallas.

Oh, I've got Ian Matthews "If you saw thro' my eyes" too, and that's also a beauty!
Really!

Just pick this one up form my local 'new' vinyl shop

Greg Brown – Freak Flag Yep Roc Records – YEP-2244 180g vinyl US 2011

A solid Greg Brown lp (if you are a Greg Brown fan) - Greg does a lovely cover of his wife's (Iris Dement) song Let The Mystery Be.

In case anyone is interested, yesterday I ordered the Bob Dylan Mono box set--the first 8 studio albums cut in mono from the original tapes-- from Music Direct for $179 including shipping (list is $269 plus shipping). They are offering this price ($199 less a "thank you 10% discount" and free shipping if ordered before midnight Jan 3, 2012. Everyone who has heard or reviewed this box set raves about the quality of the pressings and sound.

Happy New Year

Laura

Just picked up AK&US Paper Airplane on vinyl yesterday

WOW, what a disappointment. It's dull and compressed, no dynamics. The MP3 download (included) sounds better than the vinyl.

Don't waste your money on this one
