Loaded（高傳真獨立獨家黑膠唱片）

The gatefold jacket has a nice heavy gloss finish that really makes the album feel like an event. Kevin Gray’s cut from the original stereo tapes gives the bass and vocals a clarity I’ve never heard on previous pressings. Definitely worth grabbing if you want the definitive version of this record.

I popped this on the turntable and the AAA cut from the original master tapes is immediately noticeable—the clarity and depth are stunning. The 180-gram vinyl feels solid and plays dead quiet. This pressing is exactly what I was hoping for.

The quiet passages are dead silent, which tells me that Kevin Gray's cut from the original tapes really paid off. The 180-gram pressing feels substantial in the hands, and the glossy gatefold with that 4-panel insert is a nice touch for the price.
