Great LP this. Has the best rendition of "some enchanted evening" and "street where you live".

This is a very good pressing. Sounds very nice, esp. considering how thin this LP itself is. Anil, what were your listening impressions of the LP in terms of pressing?

Bryan Hyland once reached US chart no 1 for his "Itsy bitsy weenie' which sold a million records; and then came the British invasion, he couldn't sail much against Liverpool boys..

Slightly off topic : I don't think sound quality has anything to do with the thickness of the LP. I have a good number of 120-140 gm records and they sound beautiful (easily as good as the 180-210 gm LPs if not better)! "180 gm audiophile vinyl" is just a marketing gimmick. The only advantage is that those LPs don't get warped that easily.

+1. True. I have many better sounding paper thick LPs. Somewhere I read this LP thickness not a factor on sound quality. 180gm are better feel to hold and immune to warp.

 

[Record Player]

180gm said to be the better sounding is one of the biggest myths I reckon. Contrary to the common misconception, groove depth is set during mastering and as long as the record is pressed from is the minimum weight needed for good fill (easily achievable at 120 gms) then the weight of the record has absolutely no effect on this. Heavier records are indeed easier to make sure they are flat and stay that way, but this factor is easily achievable at weights of around 130gms.

The quality and care put into the mastering, pressing and plating has substantial more to do with the sound of a record than the weight of the record ever does. One thing though, pressing plants will sometimes put more effort into quality control of their heavier weights as they realize anyone ordering 180gms or above is looking for an "audiophile" oriented product. I personally think that 140gms is more than enough to make a good record with.

One of the best sounding Hindi records are CBS pressings. They are very thin, but sound best to my ears.

I have experienced the same with Polydor too. Thin records, but very good music reproduction.
