Vinyl Life of a Dark Rose

Dropped the needle on this and "Nowadays" hit so clean I just sat there grinning. It's a proper 12-inch black LP, dead flat with no warp, and the bass has real weight to it. Exactly what I wanted for my shelf.

Spun this the other night and the analog warmth on tracks like "Nowadays" really hits different than streaming it. The 12-inch black pressing is clean with barely any surface noise, and the bass comes through deep.

The analog warmth on this pressing is genuinely nice, especially on the slower tracks where the low end feels fuller than my digital copy. Only gripe is the sleeve arrived with a slightly bent corner, but the record itself plays clean with no surface noise.
