I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man is my favorite song but I'm blown away how crappy all the versions of it I have sound. CD and a couple bootleg versions. I want to listen to it in the best quality available, but I don't want to dump a hunk of change on a low quality vinyl.

For example, I got the Around The World In A Day reissue, and it skips and pops in various places. The America skips like a good 10 seconds of the song. Pop Life skips a few bars too. And pops just fuckin all over the place. Horrible, but I can't complain because I got it during the amazon UK glitch for like 4 euros.

Long story short, is the recent SOTT reissue worth a purchase? Or should I just look for an old copy on discogs?

That sounds like there's something wrong with that particular record, it's definitely not indicative of that pressing as I have one that's perfectly fine. Either that or your turntable.

The SOTT reissue sounds great on my setup.

The SoTT vinyl remaster was totally fine for me, but ATWIAD was too.

I have to say though, with the modern resurgeance of vinyl records I am surprised at how often I receive a dud.

The reissue is excellent. A good turntable helps,those liitle record players from Hifi shops dont play or sound great at all.

It is better, but it needs more work. I am sure crystal clear Adore exists somewhere. Then again I only played the records once.
