Blue Bell Knoll

I'm maybe a bit "odd", in that I don't always subscribe to the "vinyl is best" opinion - but in this case there is a noticeable improvement in the audio quality compared to my CD copy. I've had this album since it's release. In 1988 I was a poor first-time buyer of a flat, when interest rates rocketed to 15%, so money was REALLY tight - but I managed to buy the cassette version of this (of my favourite band) on its release. Replaced in the 90's on CD, my OCD personality loves the clean, clear audio. This vinyl version was a gift from my son for Father's Day - a bit of a novelty, to be honest, and I didn't have high expectations - but the sound quality is amazing - I'm well-impressed, and it actually outperforms my CD. I have original vinyl from the 60's and 70's, and this beats most of my collection "hands down" for sound quality and aesthetic presentation.

I never heard this album before and didn't know of it's existence but I saw a bit about this album on here (Amazon) and I thought, "give it a try" ,I'm glad I DID AS IT IS A FINE PIECE OF WORK FROM THE Cocteau TWINS.

Fantastic album by The Cocteau Twins a vinyl record is the way to get the best sound my copy was flat with no surface noise.

mixed reaction bit hit and miss

This is a great album by the Cocteau Twins maybe one of their best

What can you say about this, hauntingly beautiful

This is the 5th Cocteau Twins album I have bought so that gives a good idea how much I rate this timeless band! Superb, mesmerising and absorbing. Worth every penny.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time. The music is absolutely awe inspiring with Liz Fraser's voice sounding incredible and the melodies so lovely!

Deze Nieuwe cd release van Blue Bell knol is zeer prettig geprijsd is een album met alleen goede nummers, wat ik jammer vind is dat deze cd geen extra nummers heeft. Goede kwaliteit cd echt een aanrader zeker voor deze prijs.

Shipped on time and in perfect condition, as described. This is one of my favorite musical albums across any genre, and in my top three of Cocteau Twins' discography. I am taken to a different place with each listen. While my first CT album was Heaven Or Las Vegas, this would not be a bad choice for a first experience. It demonstrates the versatility of Guthrie and Fraser's songwriting and melody crafting, and really showcases the sonic finesse of this band. Also lots of sentimental value in this record for me; although I am only 18 years old, I've taken the Twins with me across the country and have been the soundtrack to many sunrises, snowy landscapes, warm sunsets and night drives through the city. I bought this record simply to expand my vinyl collection. Very beautiful piece of art.

4AD está reeditando (en vinilo) la discografía de un grupo vital, muchas veces ignorado o encasillado en etiquetas de 'pastiche oscuro'. Los escoceses son una pieza clave para entender la evolución del pop en nuestro tiempo. Fueron la 'rara avis' de su generación, pero tras su (aparente) penumbra, hay más luces que sombras. Blue Bell Knoll es un trabajo que empieza a quitarse capas más ilegibles, para enfilar unas melodías más accesibles y bellas. El puente hacia su nueva sonoridad, ni mejor ni peor. Este álbum es una delicia, básico y ensoñador. Su precio, en ocasiones, es más bajo. Hazte con él y no hagas caso de las opiniones que dicen: "mal sonido, mp3 con volumen"; no es así. 4AD siempre cuida sus grabaciones, cuestión de entender o tener un equipo en condiciones. No es gatefold, da igual.

Très bonne réédition

Maravilhoso, mas existe um código de download mp3 no vinil?
