Congo Ashanti (RSD Essential)

The lemonade and orchid splatter pressing looks even better in person than the product photos suggested. The grooves are nice and quiet, letting the full dynamics of the record shine through on my turntable.

I was really impressed by how vibrant the lemonade and orchid splatter pressing turned out—the colors are even richer than the mock-up. The record itself plays clean with minimal surface noise right out of the sleeve, which is all I can ask for on a limited RSD Essential release.

The splatter pattern on this lemonade and orchid vinyl is even prettier in person than in the photos, and the pressing itself sounds clean and warm. It’s a solid standard edition for the price, and I’m glad I grabbed it for my collection.
