Etching matches this version but I am presently surprised because it sounds pretty good, dynamic, spacious, quiet for United pressing after ultrasound cleaning to get off the paper dusts from the printed sleeve. -
Haven't listened to this in it's entirety but I agree with others - arrived dirty and full of static. I wanted to point out that even though the sleeve only lists two tracks on Side Four, there are in fact four tracks. They are not listed on the sleeve for some reason.
D1 Everything Is Everything
D2 The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill
D3 Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
D4 Tell Him -
Like others have said, this one was filthy out of the printed paper sleeve. I had to be deliberate not to drag it out of there because it was VERY staticky, both discs remain pretty staticky even after 2 Humminguru cycles. If you take this from the jacket to the turntable, you are going to be frustrated and disappointed with surface noise.
All that said, it's a beautiful sounding record. The lows are very thick and full. The highs, of which there are a lot with all the intricate chimes, cymbals and guitar solo work, are very crisp. Lauryn's voice dances on every track, which is the reason you bought it. The kick drums have plenty of punch on the more boom-bap oriented tracks. The thing that really stands out is the soundstage. This record fills my room wall to wall and floor to ceiling.
Reviews seem to be selling it short. It's an easy $30 to spend. -

This came more dirty than usual. I clean before every listen of every record (Discwasher with fluid), and I still had to clean my stylus after each side and there was a lot of crackle.
It isn't the end of the world, but it does take away from the album. -

Edited 3 years agoReally enjoying this record as I'm new to Lauryn Hill.
Record 1 had some pressing debris causing a good bit if crackle, especially on side B. Put it through a wet wash and it's better. -

Edited 4 years agoMy copy came in fairly poor looking condition from Amazon. Overall sounds pretty good, but there is mild surface noise issues throughout (however track 2 side D has crackles that are part of the recording). It is quite dynamic, and if it weren't for the minorly inconvenient surface noise, would be stellar.
