Before Loveless

~ Release by My Bloody Valentine (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

From my brief research, the copyright date of 1991 is bogus. This was produced in 2009. It is not a promo, even though it has PR in the cat #. It is not really on Lazy records, even though it purports to be. -- None of this is conclusive.

For an unofficial release, it is high quality. It sounds (almost) as good as the original release of "Ecstasy and Wine." It was mastered oddly, however, in that there is a distinct +0.5dB peak very early in each song. I'm guessing this was a marker used to set the cutting head on the lathe. After the blip, it runs a tiny bit quieter than the original pressing.
