Buena Vista Social Club – Buena Vista Social Club

The word that best describes this Analogue Productions release is "Incredible." I mistakenly thought I didn't need to buy this work again because I have the original CD, the deluxe anniversary edition (2 LPs + 2 CDs) and 45 rpm records might have been a hassle, but since I really like all these songs and they seem like true musical treasures to me, I decided to buy it. Hearing how it sounds, the level of detail, the spatial reconstruction of the soundstage, and the various nuances, I was amazed. I believe it's the definitive edition; although I never listened to the eight discs of the original 45 rpm edition, this Analogue Productions edition is sublime, and I gladly paid the price. Everything else—the presentation, etc.—is a "plus" that complements the fundamental and substantial quality: the sound quality.

Wow! This is a very enthralling listening experience. This landmark album finds its definitive pressing @ 45 rpm. It is so right on every level as described by others. An absolute essential copy to any fan of this album. Soon to be a rare and coveted pressing.

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club, this is it!

Realistically speaking, this reissue can even compete with the crazy Classic Records lacks.

In other words, my eyes may be deceiving my ears a little in favor of this reissue. And I have to it, I have a weakness for beautifully designed album covers and packaging.

To be clear: Ultimately, this edition too is classic, textbook vinyl upselling marketing for an existing product that has already seen many other releases. However, it is extremely attractively executed and offers further improvements in sound quality and design.

Be that as it may, this gorgeous Analogue Productions edition is already one of the highlights of this year's reissues. It's also reasonably priced for a 4x12" LP set.

HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION and yes, you should definitely buy it even if you have an earlier version of Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club 😉👍👍.

Die Platte klingt absolut ruhig ohne Knistern und ohne Knacksen. Der Klang ist hervorragend.
Was zu dieser hervorragenden Qualität nicht t ist die Verarbeitung. Alle vier Mittellochbohrungen mussten nachgearbeitet werden und die Ränder der vier Platten sind erstaunlich unsauber verarbeitet. Würde man bei einer Pressung in dieser Liga nicht erwarten.

The record sounds absolutely quiet, with no crackling or popping. The sound is excellent.
What doesn't match this excellent quality is the workmanship. All four center holes had to be reworked and the edges of the four records are surprisingly poorly finished. You wouldn't expect that from a pressing in this league.

I would like to know if this is confirmed as an AAA cut/release?

outstanding, captivating music in an unbelievably good quality. perfect vinyl. great presentation

One of my favorite albums, so for me this was a must have. Comparing it to recent BG 2021 repress, I do feel this is much improved when it comes to dynamics, but most of all the vinyl is noticeably quieter. For me 45 RPM isn't a deal breaker so I am happy with the upgrade.

Would love to know how this compares to the 25th anniversary BG cut on world circuit. Is it on par with the classic 45’s?

Understood if you were to drop the change on the Ultra Tape, but is this 45 a new way to hear these recordings or just something to have? Previously reissued 33 cuts from analog sourced Grundman lacquers on the World Circuit/Classic Records and BMG label seem to get the job done just dandy and have a great soundstage.

What do you want more...!? 👌
Bernie strike again 👍
