Steve Miller Band – Greatest Hits 1974-78

I guess I got lucky. I don’t have any issues with skips or excessive pops. There’s the typical trash in a Rainbo pressing but after a wet clean it sounds acceptable. It’s probably the best Rainbo pressing I own. Nice mix and mastering with great bottom end. The mixes from track to track are a little off from each other but that’s pretty much expected when picking up tracks from different sources and collected onto a best of compilation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BUYER BEWARE: My copy of this release has started to pinhole.
My advice is to rip this release asap before the pinholes increase & become problematic during playback of the CD.

Sounds great! Really nice, heavy weight pressing! I’ve received two copies with the Variant #1 matrix info, (with “Made in Poland” printed on the shrink at rear) and one with the Variant #2 matrix info (with “Manufactured In Poland” sticker on shrink at rear), and I found that Variant #2 was better.

Both copies of Variant #1 that I received had non-fill defects, causing audible scraping/flicking in the fade out of the last track of the B-side. Otherwise, a great pressing, but a disappointing finish, so I’m glad to have received a clean, non-defective copy of Variant #2 in the end! I wish it was known what year these started being produced, and where in Poland?

Sounds great! My side 2 runout is B2, but I think this is the same pressing.

This is hot garbage. I’m not sure I’ve heard a pressing with so much distortion. I will 100 percent be giving it away.

Subpar budget pressing on noisy vinyl with very rough run-in's on both sides.

As another poster has commented this greatest hits compliation also plays wonderfully as an album proper; nice.

I have no issues with the sound but have never heard any other LP version. Mine has a slight warp just shy of worth returning it, although I probably should have. But this is an album of hit after hit after hit after pop rock diddy. Hard to screw it up.

sounds great, no complaints on this reissue, clean and quiet, sounds like the Steve Miler we used to party to. Brings back good memories. This is the Black vinyl edition, feels a little heavy, maybe 180gram?

Very quiet noise floor. Very clean, heavy, and flat pressing! Couldn’t be happier
