Awesome mastering! It’s a bit on the quiet side so crank the volume to enjoy. Just a nice balance and wide soundstage that gives depth to the music. Get this one!
-
Repress of the original CD, same mix, non-club edition. Excellent sound quality. This is a good value if you want the same sound and packaging as the original cd.
-
Not bad! The pressing is flat. Surface noise? Not really! Only a hint sometimes between the tracks.
First i thought the drums are a bit far in the background because Geddy's bass is very prominent but i think the mix is perfect as it is.
Every instrument has it's place. Well balanced i would say.
Superb album!
-
Maybe not enough said after all... this is the best sounding record in my collection.
it's DEAD SILENT. Barely any clicks and pops. It sounds really warm but also clear. Great instrument seperation. The soundstage is great also, and there is no sibilance or inner groove distortion AT ALL. -
-
Great sounding LP, with proper fidelity & nice 3-D space to the soundstage. Good thump to The Professor's drum-kit once the volume is turned up as well.
-
Surprised to find the red vinyl! Didn’t know they made them back then. Album sounds amazing, very dynamic, and cranking the volume just sounds better the higher you go. Some surface noise in the quieter parts but wasn’t bothersome. Music-wise not a fan of the side one prog song, just not memorable, but side two very enjoyable.

referencing Hemispheres (LP, Album, Club Edition) SRM-1-3743
My copy has CRC sticker, matrix is as follows:
Side A: SRM-1-3743 A-CT17 1T )MASTERDISK) G.K. II
Side B: SRM-1-3743 B-CT23 (MASTERDISK) G.K. F3
Also, similar to this below Richmond Press variant, but back cover has “501” printed in upper right corner.
So, is it safe to say this club version is also from 'Richmond pressings'? -
This 24-bit 192kHz remaster (Qobuz), coming 37 years after its debut, sounds amazing. The clarity, dynamics, and mix are perfect. If you could play the master tape at home any time you wanted this is likely what you'd hear.
