Madonna – I'm Breathless (Music From And Inspired By The Film Dick Tracy)

Reviewing every record in my collection

A Very good sounding pressing, being as old as it is and having bought it at a second hand store for a three dollars, this pressing has little surface noise (it needed a cleaning after all these years) and nice, rich soundstage, especially on side 2 which does amazing things with Madonna's vocals (like pushing them back and forth in Vogue for example) I'd love to own an original eu first press or the yellow repress to compare it to but for what it is, a really nice pressing

Sound is muffled. One two three four five more words.

Love this concept album from Madonna. And Vogue is a classic! Vinyl sounds great.

Wow !!! I am impressed. Today is the first time that I have actually listened to the entirety of this album after finding it in a junk-shop today. I have always been a Madonna fan for years but I have somehow always avoided this album thinking that it would be some mediocre stuff. Of course Vogue is a classic and easily one of Madonna's best, but the rest ? Boy was I wrong. First of all this is such a fantastic sounding recording. I am completely blown away by the clarity, the dynamics and the overall sound quality of this pressing. This is the kind of record you can use to show off to people to demonstrate how awesome vinyl can sound ( and yes, this album was recorded using analogue equipment ). This is such a good album with a couple of really great tracks, all brilliantly arragend. And it most certainly is a different Madonna album. 5 out of 5 stars. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]

Can’t find fault with this pressing, great color and sound is tight and crisp. It is not bass heavy music mostly, so I did not notice that it was lacking, but whenever drums kicked in, they sounded dynamic and natural. Vogue sounded slightly muffled but not too bad.

So this pressing is pretty quiet but, thats fine, we all have a volume button. That said, I have to turn my bass knob as high as possible as well. So once i increase volume, increase bass to highest, it sounds good, no big complaints.....that is, until I did a side by side, with the original pressing from the 90s. Once you play that one and hear the dynamics and the big sonics coming from all over, especially on Vogue, and then put this reissue you on, you realize this is like a 128 mp3 file put on vinyl.

Why do we do that? Why does the label, artist, etc, approve this. The general public has been listening to compressed mp3s and streaming for years, they wont realize a thing. What about those of us that do?
If you have access or ability to track down an original 90's pressing, go with that one. If not, well you can stare at the pretty yellow record spin on this one and if you dont pick up sound/audio quality or nuances, or just want some nostalgia on your crosley then you'll be fine.

Wow, amazing sound quality on this one. Found a copy of this pressing sealed in mint condition and plays dead quiet with fantastic dynamic sound. Never saw the movie but had the CD to this movie and always enjoyed listening to this fun soundtrack from time to time. It will certainly give your speakers an enjoyable workout.

This is a very well-executed reissue faithful to its original and a good choice of the color for the disc. The sound is great.

I received it and it sounds fine.... Please don't listen to people without counterweight and anti skate
