  4. Stealers Wheel has the popular hit Stuck In The Middle With You, while The Gilded Palace of Sin by the Flying Burrito Bros. has Gram Parsons at his country rock best. It has a perfect mastering handled by Kevin Gray, using a 1/2" safety copy of the original master tapes. Speaking frankly, I would take those two albums over 90% of what Audio Fidelity put out in recent years.

    .

    Just received this LP. Just to let everybody know this is the 1 LP version, not the 2 LP UK version. I like the music but the masterng is not very good, msybe too much music pressed per side. I have not heard a UK version so font know if it sounds better or not.

    Just my 2 cents...

    Hmmm... thanks for letting us know. I have mine, but I haven't listened to it yet. I also was kind of expecting the 2 LP version (wasn't it supposed to be pink too...?) I have to go back and check the Amazon listing. Maybe they described the wrong one.

    ***EDIT

    Yep..., sure enough I DID see the 2 LP mentioned here in one of the descriptions on the Amazon item page:

    "Double vinyl LP pressing. After a steady build up of stateside buzz and support, Kettering, England's favorite psychedelic sons Temples are announcing their debut full-length, Sun Structures. It's a record that's destined to set out the band's stall as Britain's premier retro-futurists, with influences ranging from '60s psychedelia to Motown, glam, and Krautrock, all viewed through a very modern kaleidoscope - and always keeping the song at the heart of it all. Recorded in the box-room of guitarist/vocalist James Bagshaw's home, the aim was "Jack Nitzsche on a DIY budget," and with one listen to first single off the record, "Mesmerize," it's pretty clear that they've succeeded."

    You can't trust information on an Amazon page.
    So many of us keep repeating this over, and over, and over.
    My favorite example is when the reviews for other past versions of an item appear on the page of a new planned release, that hasn't been released YET. :laugh:

    Yes, absolutely!

    ***EDIT

    Just in case it doesn't sound that great, it gives a perfectly legitimate reason for return...

    I will be interested in what you think. Just finished the entire LP. I like the music but the sound is kind of flat, plus a few Random pops thru out.

    If the UPC matches, then it's the version you want. Others have noted that even then, they've received an incorrect item, which I have no doubt of, just has never happened to me in 11 years shopping there. :tiphat:

    Sure thing mate! I had not known about them before, but after listening to the snippets from the album I really liked the material. I remember checking on Discogs about the different versions. I don't know if it is true in EVERY case, but one would think that a 2 LP version SHOULD sound better unless they really screwed up the mastering. Certainly the 2 LP remasters of The Cure's Disintegration, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Alan Parson's I Robot, and most DEFINITELY Ted Nugent's S/T all do...

    Which version is a 2 record set ? The 2014 Analogue Productions is a single record.

    That link specifically shows there's only a single disc. It also shows the year and the banner under which it was released. Quickly saw there's only a single possibility as to which pressing this was.

    For all the cracks about Amazon posting inaccurate info, I've never run into that problem. By matching on Discogs the aforementioned info, I've always quickly and easily found which version this was for and have always been 100% accurate in my findings.

    ^^^ You beat me to the punch by about 5 minutes. Just spun the BAD and am now playing Erasure. I'd be hard pressed to name any recently issued vinyl that sounds nicer. And the sleeves, heavy and quality. Not bad for a crummy title :shake:.

    Intervention has my attention now!

    Which Erasure album do you mean? There are about 3 on Amazon right now for around $10 - $13. Thanks!

    I just wish Intervention would release The Circus. They won’t release it due to poor Wonderland sales.
