The Jesus And Mary Chain – Psychocandy

A big, bright, noisy, dynamic pressing of this classic album. Well worth picking up.

Rega Planar 6 w/ Exact 2 - NAD C399 - KEF R3

My version, which I bought in 1985, has a super B&W Jim Reid poster insert

Psychedelic fuzz-beast of distorted aural-angst par excellance. Alternatively floats & explodes out of the speakers, sometimes in the same song. This LP will test what both your hi-fi & your ears can take, squall-wise that is. And to answer your question, yes it's supposed to sound like that. Mastered & pressed to perfection & the vinyl itself is dead-silent.

My copy have wrong the Side A label. It takes: T-Rex “Electric Warrior”

My rating is entirely the result of a weird volume drop 2/3rds of the way through “Taste the Floor” but I’m not sure if it’s specific to this pressing or inherent to the original recording

I've heard a lot of pressings of this over the years, and have a first UK & US press, but this one is a notch above and absolutely the best you're ever going to hear of this seminal document, one of the finest of the '80s....

If you want to experience the full, unbridled sound and fury of this landmark recording, you need a quality OG press such as this one.

As unbridled as this may sound to the uninitiated, it is somewhat muted when compared to the OG presses. Just A/B’d against an ‘85 U.S. Allied press and the difference is palpable. If you can spring for an NM/VG+ copy of the original, you will not be disappointed.

I got this copy a few months ago at a record store and forgot what kind of vibe this record is. I play it every weekend and it sounds amazing. The mastering for noise mayhem its top notch.

Increíble sonido 100% analógico, incluso en mi equipo de audio que es realmente humilde suena fuerte e imponente. Primeros esbozos del Shoegaze y gran maduración para la movida Noise orientada al Pop.
