Both sides of this vintage copy of The Band’s 1968 Masterpiece boast superb Double Plus (A++) sound
Even one Mint Minus Minus side is rare these days, and two are close to impossible, so consider this copy pretty darn quiet for a Super Hot Big Pink
Forget all those vague, veiled, lifeless, ambience-free Heavy Vinyl pressings – this is the Big Pink that The Band recorded!
Remember when you used to play the same record over and over, never taking it off the turntable for days at a time?
Well here it is – this pressing captures the music in a way that will make repeated plays the joy they used to be
5 stars: “…as soon as ‘The Weight’ became a singles chart entry, the album and the group made their own impact, influencing a movement toward roots styles and country elements in rock. Over time, [the album] came to be regarded as a watershed work in the history of rock, one that introduced new tones and approaches to the constantly evolving genre.”
