I'm not sure which pressing I have, but here is a pic of the label. Is the hiss common to lps pressed in Jamacia? The music is mixed pretty good, but the hiss kills it.
the pressing i have on GG's sounds fine--well it sounds jamaican but no more hiss than usual. i don't think i have too many other things on this label but i seem to recall buying a repress on GG's a few years ago and it was unlistenable. but i think the record would have to be seriously fucked up for me to not be able to listen to "special guest"
Yeah, when the music is playing you don't really notice it as much, but the spots between tracks sound like someone recorded it off their stereo speaker using a Radio Shack tape deck with a built in microphone.
GG that copy looks worn out as fuck, it looks like the grooves are nearly gone - that could explain noise
Mine is almost certainly a repress and it sounds fine
Nah...thats just not a good picture. Actually, the record looks unplayed. Thats what was tripping me out with the hiss, because the record is so clean and the hiss is through the whole thing.
Belive the OG lettering on the label is colored (blue) and a has prominent deep groove. Problem with Gregory's work is that the best shit is on 12" and 7" and noen of it compiled on a decently pressed LP (although i do remember a nice one with dubs came out recently on 180G).
