    Tapestry 180g reissue - surprisingly excellent SQ as is often the case with this 'unofficial' label. A nicely replicated gatefold sleeve.



    These Sundazed Mono reissues cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at QRP are superb. Also have Mellow Yellow and Hurdy Gurdy Man.



    Excellent pressing from Optimal but in house mastering from unstated source. Sounds a bit recessed but quite vivid sounding in parts (don't have an original to compare). Cut at lower level than ideal with wider than necessary deadwax.

    I sent my Topographics back as i should have done all my re issues but your right with the unofficial releases they are good.

    Trouble is too much hassle with ebay overgrading on used vinyl these days. Especially with Topographic having lots of quiet bits and the optimistic asking prices. I'm sure this Optimal/Rhino is better than the Friday Music version judging from comments elsewhere. I also got it for only £13 Amazon pre-order. However I was expecting a Chris Bellman cut like the Rhino Close To the Edge.

    To be honest Paul i think ive got myself into control with my obsessions, it no longer bothers me about battered packets or crackles on used records, i am totally & utterly unhappy with new releases un im wasting no more money on em'.. They are history, im gradually replacing them with used vinyl..

    However i recieved a used copy of Sabbaths 'Bloody Sabbath' this morning it was scruffy & crackled like mad, ive been down & had it cleaned proffesionally twice over, virtually dead silent..

    Sometimes records clean up nicely and frankly I don't play used vinyl until it's been through my Okki Nokki, but truth is recently (last 2/3 years) more records are 'not as described'. At one time you would get 90% of vinyl in top condition with no more than slight cover imperfections as long as you avoided VG and below. I have quite a number of reissues that are better than originals. Usually have to also get the original just to prove it. That Rhino Close To The Edge mastered by CB is up there so it perplexes me why Grundman mastering wasn't used for Topographic Oceans. Most EU Rhino titles have been mastered by Kevin Gray or Chris Bellman up till now.

    A late Re-Issue of Locomotive 'We Are Eerything You See' on Zap! Records, it was a chance but sounds good, i could never afford an original 1st issue these days on Parlophone.
    Ben 's/t' i couldnt resist this as i could never afford an original Swirley these days, ive had this issue before & sounds just as good to me, sleeve construction/finish is very good..
    Very lucky scoring a NM Coley 'Goodbye Brains' on private pressing
