Paul Simon "Graceland" 2012 vinyl reissue:

Talk about an odd choice for a 180g vinyl reissue! Paul Simon's "Graceland" is SO easy to find in the used bins, for dirt cheap. But I admit - I did not have a copy, either LP or CD, and I also have to admit that I never got on to this record when it came out. I guess I was just in a different space - or more likely was in that period where money for records was tight, and I focused on the further 'out there' records.

So this is actually my first encounter with Graceland. I can't imagine it sounding better. The RTI pressing is a good one - clean, quiet, flat. Good day at RTI. Sound is full, detailed, no artificial sweetening, very dynamic and punchy, rhythmically organic, obviously a true analog transfer.

For a record I never had much taste for, this reissue really brings it to life, and it has such richness and diversity that it really becomes timeless. A great reissue (and the poster included is a nice touch) that is highly recommended.
