Packaging is indeed very cheap and bad like many of the reviewers said, but the sound quality of this pressing is worth it ! It’s do detailled and clear, I was blown away by the first drop in Alice just 15 seconds in haha, I definitely recommand this pressing :)

Many pressings are accused of being "just the CD pressed on vinyl." This one sounds like a limewire download circa 2002 pressed on vinyl. Pops, hisses, and badly mixed. The 40 year old Diana Ross album we grabbed the same day for $8 from the bargain bin sounded better.

In reference to a IFPI KKTN variant. Top notch production, obviously, but it's a long way from the Fame and a sense of when one has gone beyond the expiry date.

Seeking a replacement hype sticker for this ! The big circle and the yellow one. Let me know if anyone who doesn’t collect hype stickers wants to sell

My copy has an incredible amount of surface noise even after cleaning. I bought secondhand for $8 so it's not like I'm too torn up about it.

Echoing the other reviews, seems skillfully adapted to vinyl so that it sounds as the artists intended. I’m sure it’s an RSD release because it’s undoubtedly a showcase for what can be done with vinyl when you know what you’re doing.

Still a little static despite a clean with G2. Suspect it’ll be better after some time in an antistatic inner.

This album sounds like I've recorded it off the radio to a cassette in the 1980s. Utter dogshit compression and mastering, especially on the vocals. Viva la technology

This is the definitive version of this album on vinyl. Lady Gaga’s vision is so beautifully presented in this AMAZING edition. The vinyl is beautiful and sounds even better than it looks, one of my best sounding single vinyl albums. If you can still get your hands on it, definitely go for it!

Reviewing every record in my collection:

Ok, so out of the package, this vinyl presentation is amazing. The magazine, big booklet, embossed gatefold; everything. I'd say it's worth having just because of that alone, and it makes it a must have for every Gaga collector.

Now, in the sound department, I have mixed feelings towards it. There are some parts, especially in the more House/Bassy songs of the record that actually sounds really good. But it really struggles with the high frequencies and the middle sections. All in all, I'd rank the sound as a 3/5, just an MP3 pressed onto a record
