That was my thought for both of them. The bass is a little high on Candy Says, but otherwise they were great pickups for the $20ish bucks I got them for.

Yea--I think if you get them for around $20 (as I did and sounds like you did) then they are worth picking up.

for anybody wondering...Mikefromtheingroovephoenixarizona seems to think that the new Nirvana reissue is from digital sources but its cut by RKS.
The Pallas pressing from a few years ago needs no improvement. The only value from the Nevermind reissues comes from the 7-inch and the live albums.

I kinda want it for the gatefold tip-on jacket. The Pallas pressing sounds great but the packaging is super basic.

That’s what Mikefromtheingroovephoenixarizona Says. He hasn’t listened to the pressing yet but said the packaging/cover is the nicest of any pressing so far

Well mine shipped from Amazon and I ordered it less than a week ago, so im thinking his video jumped the gun just a bit. I'm betting there was just some shipping problems with these and they will be plentiful.
He also said in his new arrivals video that is didn’t sound good…said he didn’t even bother with Side 2.

I can't believe you got this for $20 it's a UK release and I can't see it any cheaper than £30 +£5 postage (around $47).
I think this is the crux of the matter, if I'm paying £35 for a single 33 rpm record I expect something on Tone Poet, AP, Sam lines, If I was paying £16 or $21 I wouldn't hesitate.

Not great reviews on Discogs either: Nirvana – Nevermind (2021, (30th Anniversary) LIMITED EDITION (1LP + 7in), Vinyl)
Maybe I’ll just return mine if it’s not going to better the BG. I’d like to have the gatefold and 7” but I don’t neeeeeed it.

I imagine this is not going to bode well for the 8-LP super deluxe version that got pushed back…lots of time for people to change their minds/cancel their orders

It’s weird that some of the “reviews” are people saying they are nervous to receive the copy or people saying it sounds bad based on mikefromtheingroove’s review

It’s all a giant echo chamber.

Yeah, agreed. I think it’s also a snapshot of how many people are looking for high quality releases these days. People are quick to judge releases when they hear they’re from digital files, and in many cases rightfully so. But it’s not always a precursor to a bad sounding pressing - a release can be digital and still sound good. But honestly, it doesn’t make sense in this case given that the former in print version was a BG analog cut.
