Reviews
-
The music is great, the pressing is good. No issues with any skips on my copy, but there are a couple of random pops. Many of the songs sound vivid and alive, but a few seem a bit flat. My copy plays nice and clean, with the aforementioned imperfections. But vinyl isn't perfect, and this is a great collection of tunes.
-
Honestly, this is a terrible pressing. There are pops, clicks & poor sound stage on all four sides. Side four is off center. I cleaned it them with an ultrasonic cleaner & then the Record Doctor X but still one of the worst pressings I've purchased new. Ironically, both of Queen's Greatest Hits have been a complete disappointment on vinyl.

Edited one year agoCan't find what copy of this I own...
-Purchased in 2023
-Hollywood Records logo on back upper right
-Front hype sticker on bottom right corner reads "ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST-SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!"
-Shrink wrap has "Made In Canada."
-Matrix has etching "MILES ABBEY ROAD ½ SPEED. ROOM 30." ONLY, no other etchings at all...
Odd.... -

Edited 2 years agoNo physical issues with my copy (ticks or pops) but I must say it sounds quite flat.
I don't feel there's much dynamic range, nothing really sparkles. Take a song like The Miracle for example, it should sound exciting but here it just plods along.
Was this a brickwalled remaster job? -

Opened it - gave it a thorough spin cleaning - let it dry for an hour - pipped it on the ATLP7 w/ AT540ML and it sounds great. Using a 1978 Mitsubishi micro components system. Don’t be afraid of the negative reviews.

i picked up a copy about a year ago brand new, took it home opened and it was missing a vinyl when i received a new one the sound quality was just horrible with so much background sound cracks and pops in every single track very disappointing.
-
Picked up a copy today, and these sound nice, quiet, with no issues at all. Maybe they fixed the issues on the initial pressings?? Otherwise, don't be afraid to buy as this is a nice set.
-
I feel like disc 2 (sides C & D) is a worse press as the label was really poorly placed and after brushing and cleaning still has noise, but disc 1 was good.
