- Quality product, cover and inners are not blurry (unlike some "music on vinyl" represses) sound is great except some distortion at the end of side one on sh and s sounds. You can hear the adaptative compression they used to keep a relatively high volume, but an untrained hear will ear nothing
Until there's a 2LP reissue : buy with confidence,
it was worth the wait because price is honest referencing Life Thru A Lens (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear, 25th Anniversary Edition) 4549902
in my opinion, the album sounds pretty good with no issues whatsoever! There are some crackle noises in between tracks, but I personally do not mind those. I love how the album has a gatefold with alternative artwork! :)- Edited 2 years agodon't pay overrated prices. It is still available through store.udiscover-music.de for 23 EUR
https://store.udiscover-music.de/p51-i0602435503929/robbie-williams/life-thru-a-lens-exclusive-white-vinyl-/index.html - I have never heard the original CD release, but this LP is a poor release indeed. No depth, no bass, no real trebbles, everything in the mid range and a complete lack of dynamics. "Let me entertain you" sounds like it must have sounded on a poor FM set back in the day. This surely is not a vinyl master, sounds more like CD badly recorded to vinyl. A big disappointment
- Edited 2 years agoLife thru a lens and I've been expecting you are both great albums, but the sound is terrible considering they have been remastered at Abbey Road Studios - I've Been Expecting More! The artwork is great :-)
Everything considered I can't give more than 3 stars :-( - Edited 2 years agoBoth these reissues are done right, as people say on here - the designer has actually gone back and retrieved the original photographs from the 1997 and 1998 shoots rather than just blowing up the CD covers, which seems to have become the norm when no LP artwork exists (or even when it exists but has been lost), so there's loads of detail revealed that I've not seen before. The inner sleeves and typesetting are completely consistent with the CD and cassette versions and the pictures look brilliant at this size - the only difference is that the track lengths have been corrected in a couple of places compared with the original artwork. The records are flat and centred. Whoever was in charge of this project has done a fantastic job. It shouldn't be unusual, but it really is!
