Recommendations
Reviews
- One of the shittest pressings I’ve ever owned (another is DOL Chet Baker). That is why I am preferring and seeking older pressings of 60-80 rock/pop albums.

Sounds great, has a bit more punchy low end than the US pressing.- Have the original UK CD when first released but wanted the Original vinyl as well but was unable to get it at the time. Bought this reissue from HMV in the UK. It doesn't sound any better than my CD and the strange thing is it doesn't have anything in the runout grooves at all, nothing! It also has a really bad edit between 'I believe ' and 'Broken' which is not on my original CD. Does this mean it's just a straight rip to vinyl from the CD no mastering or editing. Anybody any ideas?
- I recently bought this, and it just wasn’t hitting me like it used to. Then I bought an original 1985 copy. Playing them one after another really brought home just how horrible this version is. The record remains stellar. Just stay away from this muted junk version

Need to inject this album into my veins ! !referencing Songs From The Big Chair (CD, Album) 824 300-2
BUYER BEWARE: My copy of this release is massively pinholed over the entire playing area of the CD.
My advice is to rip this release asap before it can't be played anymore.- Just finished playing a NM HRM Sterling pressing and it sounds fantastic. Tight and bright mix that breaths, perfect dimensional space of silence between the notes. -RHS

This one disappointed. I expected better .7/10..planning to try a US Original.- This beats my previous copy which was cutted by The Curve Pusher and pressed by Dublin Vinyl, and it sounds like MP3.
And what I have learned from this experience, is to find old copies even if it is the 1st press or some reissues in 70-80s.
