Needles & Grooves

per Discogs, very noisy.

Thanks, I read through the comments there after I posted this. And hey, it appears at least one person likes their copy...but yeah, doesn't seem like a good press. I haven't been on the hunt for it yet, I wonder how difficult an OG is to find in the wild.

The Speakers Corner press is excellent if you can get hold of one of those without breaking the bank.

I have a copy. It's not bad.

Thanks Joe, looking now...

Good enough to recommend @sarcasticfairyprincess ? I may get it if I can't find (or don't want to pay for) the Speakers Corner version. Birdland just really got to me today, and I realized I must own this.

As far as I’m aware the speakers corner is still in print, I bought it online from pure pleasure in England last year. They’re generally a fair price over here too. The only issue will be if a reseller puts a big mark up or shipping from Europe is high because they’re a German company.

If you can get a decent price, I don't see why not. Mine has a little noise but nothing bad. I have other records that are way worse.
