The Garden

Please ignore the one star review below. This record is supposed to be played at 45 rpm.My favorite Zero 7 album. 180gr double LP. Fantastic quality, no skips or pops after 10 playthroughs.My only complaint is that it doesn’t include the extra tracks that are supposed to come on the special edition. But from my experience that is typical with LPs.4/5 but scored 5/5 to offset 1 star.

This is such a great album, easily Zero 7s best. Unfortunately the vinyl reissue isnt worth it. For some reason its split into 2 LPs. with 3 songs on each side, and at 45rpm. This is a choice chillout album, but how do you let the music take you on a journey when you have to turn it over every 3 songs? No additional artwork or liner notes, just 2 LPs in a generic sleeve. Unless youre a completist, the CD is a much better bet.

Defective. All songs on both discs are at about half speed, bout 15 rpm.. Sounds like a sloth reading you a story... Returned.

An absolutely great album - one that just seems better on vinyl. Zero 7, knocking it out of the park, in this amazing collection of songs which include Sia AND José González.

Llegó antes de lo que esperaba y no puedo decir más que satisfecho totalmente, es un álbum increíble y llegó perfecto junto al otro álbum que pedí When it falls!! Muchas gracias!!

Forse il più bello dei loro lavori, sicuramente il mio preferito e, per lungo tempo, atteso. Sono contento di non dover sborsare un centinaio di euro per una prima stampa da quei sciacalli che vendono la loro copia. Finalmente, dopo anni, una ristampa: e che ristampa! Vinile piatto, silenzioso, 45 giri come l'originale e quindi, tanto spazio per i solchi e tanto spazio per la qualità sonora. Perfetto, sia per chi conosce il gruppo, sia per chi ci si avvicina: ovviamente poi, prendetevi anche le altre ristampe di "Simple Things" e "When it Falls", anche loro a ottimo prezzo e manufatti in maniera eccellente (addirittura meglio la ristampa del loro primo lavoro che l'originale del 2001). Per i delatori in lingua inglese, che lamentano la mancanza di bonus tracks presenti in altre edizioni (CD), io dico: stiamo parlando di vinile, 20 minuti per la lato; di quanti dischi divrebbe essere una tale edizione? Dovrebbe essere un cofanetto, un altro, no grazie! Io sono dell'avviso che un disco va ristampato così come era uscito e agli altri lascio la volgia dell'interminabile distesa di canzoni demo, versioni alternative e così via (annacquare un capolavoro non ha senso). Magari tutte le ristampe avessero questa qualità e, comunque, c'è gente che trova lamentele per mestiere. Patetico. 10 stelle non 5!

I really love this album, and jumped on the opportunity to finally own it on vinyl. The quality of the pressing is excellent, it sounds great.... However, it's very disappointing that despite this vinyl being described as the same 'Special Edition' as the CD, the CD comes with an extra 10 special edition tracks! Many of which are great and I'd personally never heard them before - I only discovered these accidentally when listening to the extended album on Spotify...They really should have included an additional disc or two in the vinyl package to ensure these extra tracks were included like they were on the CD, even if it increased cost a little. Missed opportunity IMO!

Takes a few listens to get into then each track starts grabing you and sticks in your head.Not quite as good as the previous album but still very good

A great album! This edition is on 180gr. 2 LP 45 RPM.The sound is perfect but my copy arrived with the second LP damaged (propbably is a fabric defective).Great Amazon service with replacement.
