Eric Clapton – Blues Breakers

Clean, quiet, flat, well made pressing. Nice flipback cover. Can’t ask for any more, as the music speaks for itself. Only four stars as nothing is perfect!

Oh that record shines ! The pressing is great - beautiful balance tough I do not have another pressing to compare with

Sounds really bad. The mix is weird, from the left speaker only the high frequencies, from the right speaker some low rumble. Decca have made from the mono mix a pseudo stereo mix. This version sounds very thin and the left speaker has the most output, right speaker is almost silent. I have ditched this record, I don't care anymore about John Mayall, I cannot stand his voice.

I believe this is the UK 1st stereo press so not technically a ‘reissue.”

A fantastic sounding CD. I really don't think this can really be improved upon, it's that good. My go-to for the stereo version easily.

Holy cow, finally scored a copy of this after playing my US stereo original for a decade. The mofi blows the original out of the water. The sound stage is really top notch, great stereo separation. Gonna sell my original now.

This is a very enjoyable pressing and mix. Nice and loud, good separation, very surprised that a late 70s repress would sound this good. It makes me wonder if they used the original plates or not. Good for any blues collector.

Mine copy plays perfectly. Also noticed no distortion. No complaints.

Really solid sounding stereo pressing! And not a bad mix either. This one’s worth having!

My copy is identical in every way but the side numbers (1 & 2) are to the left of the spindle hole, not on the right as shown in the images here. Puzzling!
