i'm not sure if Plain repressed this in 2018? i have been seeing this in stores again at a higher price point and this version sounds great. anyone have a 2015 they could grab barcodes from?

this record has never been published in vinyl by capitol, it is a reissue from a cd.Quality passable, I wonder what david roback thinks about it

Must be luck of the draw. Just received a copy in the mail and it is pressed off-center. Wow & flutter along with low level surface noise throughout. Bummer.

I requested a replacement copy and it had the same issue. Side B is pressed off center with wow & flutter very pronounced on the inner grooves. The last track "Before I Sleep" is pretty much unlistenable. Guess I'll have to hold out for an original on this one...

Amazing pressing. Can't understand why some late 80s early 90s are so amazing on vinyl - yet so many are not....

I have yet to get Mazzy Star's other two, but on this album my copy sounds excellent. I have heard some bad things about Plain Recordings reissues of Mazzy albums, and I also have some Plain reissues by other artists that are subpar. However, on this album everything sounds really good to me. Barely any pops and crackles, if so they are very quiet. Bass is not too loud and the guitar, tambourine and vocals are all at a very nice even level with each other, nothing is competing to be the loudest. Thick sleeve, poly lined paper inner sleeve, and clean vinyl. No complaints here

Finally purchased a copy, 1st pressing is out of my price range. I would give it 7/10 sound wise, it does have background noise to it. I bought a sealed copy but there is every chance it's been played previous to this. There are two loud pops on Blue Flower with my copy.

I bought this new along with the 2015 re-issues of the second and third albums. "She Hangs Brightly" and "So Tonight That I Might See" were clean and sounded great. However my copy of "Among My Swan" had a lot of surface noise, clicks and pops that couldn't be removed through cleaning. It may be the case that copies of all three re-issues will have noise problems depending on luck so make sure you buy from somewhere that accepts returns! The packaging is great and they used a nice strong cardboard. The spines look great as a set lined up on the shelf.

Even if I was born a year after this album was released, I love it! Hope Sandoval can never do no wrong when it comes to music<3

This is the best Plain pressing I've had - the others are pretty poor but this is decent so don't be put off.

Plain Recordings has a history of bad pressings, however, my copy of this album seems to sound decent.
