Rasta Pon Top pressings

Post by =Nilo82= »

Recently I listened to the debut album "Rasta Pon Top" by the Twinkle Brothers and thought this would be a nice LP to have in my collection.
There are at least 4 different pressings of this one:
Original on Grounation, 2x Vista (UK & France)and Twinkle Music.
Which one should I buy (considering only sound quality)?

While I cant speak to the other pressings, my Vista press from the late '80's is good quality mastering and vinyl is professionally produced 9vs many of the shoddy JA pressings).

The Grounation sounds great. Used to have it on Twinkle Music which also was nice.

All are fine - but generally speaking I'd go for the original. I used to have the Vista but was happy to replace it with the UK original on Grounation - covers better too!

Seems like I can't do anything wrong.
Looks like they're all affordable, will have a look for the Grounation original.
Thanks guys!
