Grabbed a sealed version, audio quality is really bad - the printed sticker's all smudged
The poster was missing from my order, but the sound is incredible and this is hands-down the most vibrant record I've ever laid eyes on. Randy Merrill's mastering is truly top-notch, and I've got the Bernie Grundman version to back that up too.
This version is amazing. BG and Pallas really nailed it!
Tracking down a pristine copy of this album was quite the costly endeavor, but it was absolutely worth every cent once it finally spun on my turntable. I was initially worried that Bernie might have gone overboard with the audio enhancements, which I definitely didn't want. However, those concerns vanished as soon as "Teen Spirit" kicked in, and the entire record played magnificently from start to finish. It sounds just like I've always wanted to hear it, only slightly improved in nearly every aspect. The snare hits are loud, crisp, and punchy. The bass guitar is tight and well-defined, never overpowering or muddy. The lead guitar still cuts through with plenty of compression, though it seems Bernie might have slightly reduced the top end to avoid any harshness. The softer tracks like "Polly" and "Something In The Way" sound absolutely stunning on this LP. There's so much space in the mix, with Kurt's vocals clear and detailed, blending seamlessly with his gentle, yet perfectly articulated guitar playing. The midrange is particularly impressive on these tracks, showcasing Grundman's outstanding mastering skills. And kudos to RTI, which, in my opinion, remains the best and most consistent pressing plant out there. While the record didn't look flawless out of the sleeve, it had an exceptionally quiet surface noise and played perfectly flat. With the superb sound quality, this might be the best I've ever heard this album, and I'm thrilled to finally have it in my collection.
Fantastic album, excellent pressing, good sound quality, no problems. A must have.
