Fugazi – Repeater

C'est un test pressing (?) qui servait surtout à la promotion de la sortie de Repeater. En , Plus au Sud l'avait envoyé chez quelques distributeurs et dans certains magasins de disques (avec tous les inserts). Dans mes souvenirs très lointains, le son était plus rugueux, plus brut, moins lisse...On l'avait eu deux à trois mois avant la sortie "officielle" à La Nuit Noire à Poitiers (Fr) et bien entendu écouté et fait écouter.

Well... My pressing's colour is different. Tho this pressing is black, my pressing red. I am really confused.

Aside from some light crackle after a brush clean, mine sounds insanely good. Far from muddy at least for me on all 11 tracks, including Brendan #1. Beautiful clarity, punch, separation, dynamics, stereo imaging. Vinyl is centered, flat, and the transparent blue looks incredible. Money well spent!

Also, you’ll want to crank this one. It really shines at high volumes.

Flawless pressing; incredible soundstage and instrument separation throughout. Bought from new, so no idea what later pressings are like, but this is absolutely spot on. Crank it right up, close your eyes and the band are in the room...

Agree with the "muddy" and "coin flip" comments here, especially on Brendan #1. Maybe I don't have the best setup, but this blue vinyl is definitely noisier than digital (same setup). Quieter parts sound good IMO. Shame I can't return it anymore. Happy for anyone that is satisfied with their copy.

Bought this used in VG+ condition and must say this is an amazing pressing. The sound is crystal clear the drum hits are punchy and the separation between the instruments is excellent. Barely and noticable noise and only minimum cracks noticable between songs during silence. 4.5/5.0
Note: All of this is after a thorough clean.

Solid pressing. Really cool blue color with some swirls when held up to the light. No defects. Just Fugazi blasting out of your speaker. 1, 2, 3 REPEATER!

I haven’t owned a copy of this since 1990 and that was a cassette so when I saw this I grabbed it with the intention of giving it a spin for my kids to see if it lit a fire in them like it had done for me 34 years ago (man I’m fucking old) ?
Blue wax was a surprise but I’m very happy to Report that my copy was in fact very quiet, flat and sounded at times better than many of my Mobile Fidelity LP’s. Needless to say this pressing is well worth your $.

These colored vinyl reissues have been a coin flip for me. Some good, some noisy. Opaque always seems better than clear. The copy I got of this was good, no surface noise pops or ticks. Killtaker on clear vinyl was a loser.

Man, $6.00 postpaid for Repeater. We had it so good.
