Richard Hell & The Voidoids – Blank Generation

The images show a black record. My LP is red.

I don’t think this album could sound better. I have several Cd’s, and 2 other pressings, including the heavily hated 2005 Rhino pressing. This is the best

Studio tracks sound great on first LP and inner booklet is really cool.

Only gripe is the CBGB tracks. It’s a neat historical artifact. You can tell they were also a good live act. It just sounds too muddy to be very enjoyable. Not really worth including IMO.

It's truly offensive just how bad this pressing sounds which, now that I think about it, is actually pretty punk

Vinyl is orange in the centre, black on the outside

Just unwittingly bought a copy of this at a vintage store. Going to tell myself it’s a rare RSD basement tape mix.

"Cruddy sound" or not of this 2005 release (maybe intentional???), time has not been kind to R Hell and the Voidoids. Listening to this now, it sounds like the Madison Ave version of "punk." I can't help but wonder if another "presence" was active in NYC during this period. A presence similar to that of Laurel Canyon during the 60s if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the Australian version has a typo on the back cover

Bought a new copy of this in October and it sounds awful. Very compressed, as the reviewer below also points out. Probably the worst sounding record I have. My old CD and the MP3's I ripped from it years ago both sound better.

Just echoing the below statements. Muffled. Gotta grab a different pressing.
