LIFE IS YOURS Black LP

Dropped the needle on side one and the low end on this pressing is genuinely thick, no surface noise at all straight out of the sleeve. The 12-inch format lets the quieter tracks breathe in a way streaming never did for me.

The 12-inch pressing sounds warm and full on my setup, and the black vinyl itself looks sharp spinning on the turntable. Side transitions are quiet too, so the whole album flows without a jarring pop between tracks.

Wasn't sure the black vinyl would feel any different from streaming, but the low end on this thing is genuinely warm. Sleeve arrived crisp with no seam splits, which is more than I can say for my last couple of orders.
