Chris Isaak – Heart Shaped World

hate colored vinyl. love this record. have an OG press I'll never part with, but I'lll never part with this one either

The recording and pressing quality is superb. Very dynamic, great definition of the upper range, airy.

This recording is a killer. The sound is audiophile qualty deluxe. This thing sounds natural warm, airy, transparent and crisp.

This is one of the best sounding records in my collection. The songs are amazing and the sound is exquisite due to excellent mastering.

I have an original NM promo stamped copy that I paid a small fortune for. I have to say that this reissue is an absolute steal at current prices. The original has a bit more detail and warmth but depending on your system this may be negligible. Highly recommended

A perfect record. Flat, no defects. The sound is... WOW! A beautiful remaster. The recording itself was already done with class, but it just has that extra oomph on vinyl. Groovin' bass, Chris sounds like he's singing to you in your room and the guitar is so clear and cuts right through. Definitely a record that you can show off your sound system.

It's a great sounding record, but this has more to do with the quality of the recording than the pressing itself, which is fine but not audiophile-grade. I also have more than a half-dozen very brief instances of no-fill on side A, most of them occurring during "Kings of the Highway". I was also not immune from the black speck haha, but I'll just call it a freckle.

I paid too much for this record because it was a special import to Canada. Was it worth it? Probably, because I have already listened to it a lot (I can even anticipate when the sonic imperfections are about to happen). I think you'll be very satisfied with it but don't expect it to sound so present that it's like Chris Isaak is in your living room/basement.

Fantastic master/press. Sounds like he did onstage with this outfit- if you were standing centre front. Even like the grainy cover photo-suits the music. Only problem is I have a black speck in white run-out groove-should I throw it away? (Kidding).

it sounds good but do not have any wow effect. my white vinyls have also huge black stains everywhere.

Pretty sublime pressing & mastering. Nil issues with my copy, Only negative comment would be that the artwork is a little on the thin side. Otherwise, 5 stars ✨
