Best Pressing of Cream’s Disraeli Gears?

[@HarryNilssonCatalogue]

I have a first US pressing and was hoping to upgrade to a first UK stereo, however I've heard pretty poor reviews about the quality...To this day Cream remains one of my favorite bands, just finished off obtaining 3/3 autographs with Clapton! Thank you for taking the time to do this comparison, currently the only one on KZbin!

Amazing to have 5 pressingsof the same album in one's collection.I only own doubles, ususally the worse gets sold....cheers Klaus

Thanks! The UK stereo is of a friend of mine and I guess I’ll sell the Back To Black, the others I wouldn’t like to miss really…

Thanks for the awesome review. Glad I found this before purchasing 😊

[@top5records796]

Hello, this record was made in the USA , and the mixing was terrible. I got a us mono first pressing and its ok but no excellent. This great album deserves a New remix by Kevin Gray o Ryan K. Smith. Greetings from Peru, South America

@@top5records796 Hi, i'm quite happy with my UK Reaction 1968 stereo copy. But I'm very curious about the later (1973) UK reissue RSO . This is a comment from Better-records, (Hot Stampers) :"" Both sides of this vintage RSO UK copy were giving us the big and bold sound we were looking for, earning outstanding Double Plus (A++) grades - You aren’t going to believe how hard this copy rocks, with all the WHOMP and ENERGY you never knew was there. This superb copy has the kind of smooth, analog sound you need for this music - warm, rich, smooth, and pretty much free of the nasty grain that gets in the way on most pressings. There’s good extension up top, and the bottom end is meaty and well-defined"". Having 7 "Hot Stampers" from Better-records in my collection, i can say that they know what they are talking about.

​@@Liebermann2012Unfortunately, Kevin Gray and Ryan Smith only do remasters, not remixes.

I heard the abbey road half speed is fire. It’s currently out of print, hopefully it comes back

[@chiappettamark]

Had a poor Disraeli pressing in great shape. Finally got a great pressing, sounding pretty good.

[@top5records796]
