Their Berlin album (Was mostly recorded in Berlin) They love it there, they own an apartment there.
Great album, really like it, some beautiful ballads. -
referencing Hotspot (LP, Album) x2 0018 VL1
Great album, love it, but the vinyl is very hazy not punchy and thought it was my needle but no issues with other records, so x2 need to do better pressings -
referencing Hotspot (LP, Album) x2 0018 VL1
A fantastic album that wasn't over produced. That makes listening very pleasant, very creative album. Very good sound stage. Really good songs. -
referencing Hotspot (LP, Album) x2 0018 VL1
My copy plays great from start to finish, plenty of bass and sounds great for a digital transfer. Is it their best album, not hardly, but has several good songs making it worth picking up. Has subtle light ticks here and there just like most records. Give it an excellent vacuum wet cleaning with a detergent/distilled water mix that’s vinyl friendly and an equally good just distilled water vacuum rinse before playing. As with most new vinyl purchased nowadays, getting an excellent playing one is sometimes the luck of the draw. -

I was preparing for the worst. My copy actually sounds pretty punchy with plenty of bass. The problem is the last track on each side. It sounds all weird and hazy. Pity. -

I have 2 of the last three Pet Shop Boys albums on LP (all X2 label). Electric is on the way. Super is subpar (if not terrible) but Hotspot, while printed gloriously, sounds like it was not mastered for vinyl. Dear X2 - WHY BOTHER? For your money go with the PARLOPHONE 2018 remasters. They're wonderful: crisp, clean, with improved sonic details. Oh, the world of vinyl. Lots of variability out there.

One of those rare cases where a non-official release is better than the original. The sound quality is excellent. You can also save cash and shelf space as the Dreamland single is included in this edition in its entirety, with b-sides and remixes. Also only on this CD release you can find b-side Decide and a remix of it. The only downside to this edition is the lack of a booklet. You can still find this disc on some Russian websites for $5. -

I finally picked this up on clearance. I’m a big fan of PSB and enjoyed Hot Spot on streaming but didn’t feel a rush to get the vinyl. I’m disappointed in the quality and agree with many of the other reviews; it sounds flat and hazy. I’m hoping it’s a coating or something that will wear off. I actually like the artwork and think the mat finish looks nice. -

The quality of my brand new pressing was so bad, it was unlistenable. lucky for me the store gave me a refund. The digital version is flawless. Too bad, I won't risk buying another vinyl copy. The album is pretty good. -
referencing Hotspot (LP, Album) x2 0018 VL1
It was to be expected after reading the other reviews, but the sound quality of this pressing is very poor.
