It's a great slice of early 80s soul. Sound quality is exemplary. Definitely a late evning album I reckon.
The credits from the original album are there but too small for my ancient eyes to be able to read, even with my mighty varifocals!

Excellent. The vinyl was great, the CD very disappointing so you have whet my appetite!

Sadly it won't be sent until the late June releases are also in.

Thanks again.

Steve

My impatience gets me in to the "Post as released" camp! My system has undergone some tweaks this week and everything I play seems amazing!

I have listened to 2 of these "Gold" albums now, Traffic and Rod Stewart. They sound absolutely great. You will not be disappointed if you have taken a punt on either.

Yes, Ive got that on it's way too! Along with a Thin Lizzy gem.

You are right about their packaging.

Steve

Indeed. Amazon could take a lesson or two from them. It may be autosuggestion but I definitely think they have a sonic edge. Got the Dire Straits on again now. Sounds tremendous.

How annoying Stuart!

I've not had any problems with SHM CDs or CD JPN so far.
I'd send CD JPN a 'dissatisfied customer' email.
They have a very good rep', so I'm sure they'll put it right.

Nor I; please let us know what CD JPN do.

I have never had a warped CD before.

Very 70/80s taking every other LP back to get a flat one.
If they have the normal Japanese ethos exchanging should not be a problem. Contact Chris Kelly he has 2 copies!

Hey we all make mistakes!

Sensible to contact cdJapan though - I have never needed to return anything but I'm sure there won't be an issue.

I think this is an investment strategy for Chris,
& considering the Electric Ladyland SHM CD now sells for £80-100 probably a good one too!

Time will tell John! I have duplicated several of the albums so it would be nice to think so.

Nirvana Best sounds very good to my ears.

I love the original Nirvana recordings on CD and the vinyl.
I dont see the point in spending lots of dosh on the shm.

They're a bargain El Muncho!
The SHM CD sounds much better than my CD copies of

Vinyl? It'll never catch on!

When did you send them?
I've emailed 'em twice & both times had an answer in 24 hours.

They answer questions about spending money maybe.
But not returns or replacements so far.

Contact the sales dept, Munch. They always answer.

I appreciate it's very annoying to receive a duff disc Munch,
but both my emails related to cancelling orders.

Did you use the info@cdjapan.co.jp addy?

I sent CD JPN an email early yesterday & have received a reply,
so that's really baffling Munch!

CDjapan are doing a special promo for those of us who buy all 10 of the LZ releases. I am baffled by their lack of response to Stuart.
