My second order from HHV arrived today, and the quality of these disks is just as amazing as the first.
Absolutely silent background, and a mastering job that is letting me hear things I've never heard before—and that's saying something considering the hundreds of times I've listened to these records over the years.
While I have it ripped from a borrowed CD in MP3 format, I never owned Tour De France on vinyl—at least not the full album and certainly not when it was initially released.
There's been an (unobtainable) bootleg pressing of Computer World on yellow vinyl for years, but apparently it's so hinky not even Discogs will allow it to be sold through the website. That's one of the reasons I jumped on this:
Yes, I already own a copy of the original Man Machine from 1978 on red vinyl; one of my "holy grails." But it this is 180g vinyl and well, totally free of pops, clicks, and background noise. So it's justified…
