Roger Waters – Us + Them

Just opened my new copy, unfortunately the return window has closed with Amazon. Looks like it was dragged across the factory floor. Will need several cleans before I let it anywhere near my table. This is happening more and more. €43 on a pressing I am not sure I will ever play. Damn.

My copy sounded pretty damn good, especially if you consider it is a live performance. The discs had some paper scuffs/residue but nothing that affects playback. The packaging does lend to the tendency for ease edge damage and creasing. My third LP was warped but it didn't affect play. Overall worth owning IMO.

Just bought the record. I don't know what some mean with 'not dynamic'? Maybe some audiophil BS. It's an OK record IMO. Not PF of course, just RW, the inspirator of the songs, and bass player. I like him as musician, not his political BS, but what the heck, there great songs to listen to....

To be honest, this is not the very best mix, nothing for audiophiles, but all in all I am still satisfied with this issue. The pressing is good, the LPs are flat and largely noise-free, the sound is okay (as I said, not very good, but still 3/5 from me - even better if you like fat bass), the cover and booklet nice and beautiful. For me a good memory of a great concert, and you still get it at a fair price. So no complaints from my side.

Oh and... well... do the constant Gilmour/Waters comparisons still make any sense??

J'ai eu peur de la restitution de ce triple albums à en lire les différents commentaires de cette page. Eh, bien ce master est très bon, l'enregistrement est propre, il offre de nombreux détails, l'ambiance est bien celle du concert, l'envie et l'erreur, est de comparer Waters et Gilmour, dont les idées sont différentes musicalement, ce qui offre aussi des enregistrements (arrangements) différents. Mais la musique est là, avec toute la qualité qu'il faut ! La triple pochettes est également de toute beauté ! TOP

Poorly mastered/mixed unfortunately, sounds rather flat compared to other Waters releases, not to mention PF reissues

For my audio system this press is good. I have the David Gilmour live at Pompei on 4LPs and the sound is better. But this sound is good enough for 5 stars rating when you own a DG show :) .

I have bought two copies both were warped and returned to the store I bought them, just poor quality al round

Having seen the Blu-ray first,i can see why some would think the Lp mix isn’t as dynamic.i would disagree,i think the Lp mix sounds spot on.the thing with a live album is,you have to use your imagination,try to imagine what it would be like to be there.that’s why Kate Bush is sitting on footage of her
2014 shows at the Hammersmith Odeon....just drop the needle and enjoy.

booklet is kinda boring/simple, records are not 180g (i think they then would totally cut-through the inner sleeves) and i confirm they`re dirty and have some hairlines and scratches. sound is ok, but meh...
rather dissapointed.
