Update. The new Osees album sounds absolutely shite on vinyl. Utterly crap pressing. Utter utter crap.
Had to cleanse my ears with Yello - Baby.
Boy, is this a test for your speakers!!.
One of my favourite vinyl pressings of all time, and an album I always play when I tweak my record players I’ll
Be honest, it’s taken me six months to get this turntable to sound this good. It’s a very difficult turntable to setup. The tone arm pivot point is not fixed, you can move the mount. Getting the stylus set ‘just so’ has been fiendishly difficult but happy now.

I have a suspicion that the forthcoming 'Wild God' from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will be the album of the year.

Re: Your last listen
I have it on order, mainly because I have everything else, but yes whilst it might get that vote, will it actually be any good. I prefer the Bargeld period, but then that's just me.

Re: Your last listen
I am kinda on the fence when it comes to Nick Cave, but I admire greatly the fact he is as authentic as they come and what little I've heard of the new album I have liked.
