Rude Awakening - Crystal Clear Vinyl

Usual high quality from MOV

Received in excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional on this vinyl. Very happy with this purchase. Gave my CD to a friend and I’m listening to this great vinyl record now.

Although the sound of this pressing is not spectacular, it is very good! A discogs review claimed that this pressing "taps you on the shoulders and slaps you in the face" but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it does. But I would say that this pressing sounds fresh and more modern thanks to the better low-end this MOV reissue offers.

It's a very dynamic record with lots of detail and it truly is a great reissue. I did notice a remarkable sonic difference on 'Radio Silence', very detailed and modern sound.

The vinyl labels are a great touch and the printing quality of the sleeve and insert are better than the original.

Great service 👋

Good service

Love the sisters and love this album. Suggetsted this and got it! Great quality reissue! Maybe Contact next?

Received my box set today #0013 very pleased, I knew MOV would do these records justice was surprised to see Found All The Parts as a 12” vs the original 10 I only got through In Color but plan on diving into rest all week as time allows. I know as Cheap Trick fans we all have these but do yourself a favor and get this.

Good version well packed arrived in tip top condition. Excellent customer service too…

Fantastic pressing, by MOV. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the seal but the first bars of 'Jump (For My Love)' were enough to know that this is a great pressing. The moog shines like never before and the synths sound electric ⚡. Vocals are clear and center of stage.
Even in the chaotic passages the record stands tall and the separation stays in tact. I love the fact that 'I'm So Excited ' is included on this version because apart from Energy I won't need another Pointer Sisters record.

The artwork is nice and looks authentic. Not blurry at all, the same quality as an old record sleeve from the 80's which is good. Also the reproduction of the Planet labels is a nice touch.

The purple vinyl is dead silent and fits the theme of the sleeve, although I prefer black, this pressing doesn't seem to have any faults.

Great

Fantastic pressing by MOV, amazing that they repressed this holy grail, such an amazing album.

The record sounds crisp and sometimes a bit bright even, but no problems with sibilance whatsoever. It sounds life-like and visceral in some passages. Beautiful low-end, with a warm and rolling sound, a feat which MOV has been executing perfectly on their reissues lately. The background is pitch black and gives room for the music to breath.

Also a nice bonus is the sleeve which has great detailed cover art which is not always the case with MOV and also cool they did a textured lamination.

This reissue of The Flat Earth gives the album new life. With tight and most of all deep bass, MOV gets one of the important factors of this album spot on.

The songs get a fresh sound that have details presented in a way I have not heard before. The White City is crisps and life-like which is the same for I Scare Myself. The spectacular sound on the record really makes it worth the replacement.

But not everything is all en well, if I'm being critical, the dynamics of Dissidents is not very great. The vocals of Thomas Dolby are low in volume and barely comes through and secondly, the cover of the sleeve is not very high quality. But if you are here for the music, this definitely makes up for it!

Great album!

Such nice quality and the best price I’ve found!

Best album Of all time
