LuzArt Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Does anyone have a recent vinyl purchase of this? In JB's it appears to be a French pressing but no other info. The CD is a very mono mix, hardly any stereo separation. I had to download it in around 2007 and the iTunes version was a glorious stereo mix. I no longer have that version, the vinyl is great value but would prefer to know if it's the nice stereo presentation or the dull-ish mono. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can also recommend the white vinyl edition also from JB of Pocket Universe.Both were around $25 which is remarkable value .Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
tubularbells Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 You paid $25....Geez I was fleeced then as mine cost close to $50! Still, these AIR repressings are bloody good and to my crusty ears as good as the originals so buy with confidence.

LuzArt Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 And again, thanks. Listening to this now on the 650's. Gloooooorrrrrious! Like really hearing it for the first time. Boggles me why the original CD release did not have this mix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Blaine The Audioaddict Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Yep, CD version definitely mono. i remember first buying the CD back in 2001 and thinking it was novel for them to put out an album in mono. Now, in 2018, I just bought the Vinyl.... Oh My God! it's full stereo. It's amazing as I've never heard the album this way before and know it off by heart. It's like finding the secret AIR treasure.

Chigurh Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I bought the 2015 European pressing of this a couple of years ago and hadn't got around to listening to it properly until today. Virtually no surface noise and it's very stereo. I'm loving it!
