Jill Scott – Who Is Jill Scott? - Words And Sounds Vol. 1

This is so great. Just listening to the beautiful blue vinyl. Last time I properly heard this was a CD in the car (good Audi system) a couple of decades ago. Loved it then. Love it more now. Maybe my ears are old (they are). Maybe, because I’m old I know that vinyl sometimes ‘pops and clicks’ but this sounds so good to me. Maybe someone oversold some of you people vinyl but please don’t let the perfect drive out the good. Jill, by the way, is close to perfect

Honest review:

The vinyl looks stunning and beautifully made, I wished that I could say the same about the quality etc which I will talk about now.

There are pops here and then, some of them are just in the audio. But there are exceptions where a lot of pops come from poor quality made vinyl.

Coming to skips. I’ve had two skips in total. When I played on the skips again, they both just disappeared. So I concluded that the reasons it skipped was due to dirt being stuck in the groove, since it didn’t skip anymore after playing it again.

Vinyl rating (sound quality): 6.5/10. Beautiful album, that was poorly pressed unfortunately.

My copy sounds really nice. No skips or cracks like others have spoke of. A bit of simbilance at times, most notably on Love Rain. I’ll give it a good clean later, but not upset whatsoever with this purchase.

I was actually lucky after several deep cleaning static removal the vinyl played reasonably well, although it is a lottery on the copy you get. I purchased one copy which was sent back where the pressing on the B side was off-centre making the play back skewed. However good sellers should accept returns on bad copies and I was fortunate to purchase from one that accepted the return.

i saw all the concerns below but I just bought it taking the risk. my copy sounds good without any skips nor any surface noise

Damn... Was about to pick this up. Anyone know if the new stock still skips?

This item is back in stock (Nov 2021). Don't pay the scalper prices.

Not only did mine have a skip on side C, but when I took it back to my local record store to exchange it for another copy, they test-played it and found that EVERY SINGLE RECORD IN THE SHIPMENT THEY RECEIVED skipped at that exact same moment.

I returned it for a refund thinking I'd just be able to buy it on here; go figure they pressed so few copies that pretty much all of them have either been scooped up or bought by scalpers looking to rip people off. Hugely disappointed

Maybe mine is a fluke but my copy actually plays and sounds fine with no skips. The blue vinyl turned out nice too. I say take a chance on it pending you can even find it anymore.

if you consider skips pops and clicks good for a new record then buy this blue vinyl,,,where was this pressed? horrible qc this is a disgrace Avoid!!!!!!!! shame because its a great album
