Finally got to finish listening to this. It’s magical.How's the pressing? I'm assuming very good, like all of his records. Really love the performance and arrangements on this tour.
Yeah it’s not great. Here’s the thing though, if you are a casual fan it’s not the worst pressing I’ve ever heard. If you are a Pearl Jam die hard and require an audiophile copy, you probably need the 45 rpm. I’m fine with this. The noise is noticeable in headphones, I’m guessing it’s nigh nonexistent over the Elacs.Well let’s see how much of a mistake I made:

Pearl Jam - Vs.
Initial impressions… had to crank it. Expected that. The noise floor is not quiet but not noticeable so far during music… will see with the acoustic songs. It’s pretty warped though. Bowl. Michell handled it with no problems.
Which pressing is this? Did you pick this up instead of the 2x45 pressing?Yeah it’s not great. Here’s the thing though, if you are a casual fan it’s not the worst pressing I’ve ever heard.
