I’m sure both sound great. I’m partial to 33s but I grabbed the 45 of pronounced and am not disappointed in the leastNo just asking how they compare in sound really
I’m imagining the 45 sounds great though right ?

I have no frame of reference on vinyl, but it does sound superb.

I went in to get Otis Blue, but decided on August And Everything After instead.

I’m so torn about Otis Blue…I really like that album in mono and the AP is stereo so I think Otis’s voice is hard panned.

I have the 33 arriving tomorrow. The first album 45 is awesome.

Is there any noticeable difference between the Head Hunters AP 33 or 45?
Making my pre-price increase AS order and debating this one. Only the 45 is in stock, and with only four songs the inconvenience of the 45 seems to be minor for this album. But not sure if it’s worth waiting for the next 33 pressing.

I have the 33 and it is phenomenal. I really don't feel the need to "upgrade". Though when I ordered only the 33 was in stock, otherwise I would have gone with 45. I always go to 45 when there is an option between the 2.

II don't have this pressing but this is such a killer album. Amazing from start to finish.

It just came out this month. Barnes and Noble had their own blue vinyl variant that came out back in July then the wide release was recently.

There's a pretty incredible story tied up to it that might interest you.
Nina was actually born Eunice Kathleen Waymon and learnt the piano playing gospel music at her mothers Church (her mother was a Methodist minister, and her father was a handyman and preacher). When she got older she started getting interested in jazz and would perform in a nightclub in Atlantic City, using the name Nina Simone so her family wouldn't find out (they wouldn't want their daughter to play 'the Devils music'. She was clearly one hell of a pianist but women performers in clubs were expected to sing at the time, so she added that to her repertoire. Ironically it was her singing that enabled her to sell the rights to 'Little Girl Blue' to Bethlehem (for $3,000) and she ended up making over $1million in royalties alone.
So there's my random story for the day.
