Yeah his recordings were very good and my favorite recording by him is Beat Crazy.
i have an a&m pressing as well...and im quite happy with it...these can be found easily and cheaply...try this route first would be my advice...btw...first 3 jackson lps are stellar..
Not a great Re-issue but considerably better then any of the copies I have 2 12" 1 10" and a horrible cd. WORTH it if your a Joe Fan
Stickman451, I have a remastered CD--24bit/96hz--with excellent detail and full sound. If you pass on the vinyl, you should at least get that one.
If you like Joe Jackson a must have, IMO, is "Night and Day". I have an original(?) A&M pressing and the music and sonics are fantastic. I'm going to give my original A&M "Look Sharp" a spin right now.
Oops... I have the A&M issue, not the 10" version. Will listen today and see how it sounds on my new Aries 3...

thanks for the heads-up on Vinyl Lovers issues...
The original 10" is not all that uncommon, and can usually be had for a reasonable price - I have a copy. I find the original 12" US A&M issue to be on par with the 10" version sonically; not too much difference between them. We saw Joe Jackson a few months back in Northampton MA - it was a great show!!

BTW, lots of mediocre reports on the 'Vinyl Lovers' reissues floating around; good surfaces but bad transfer/mastering. Like many reissues, I'd avoid them like the plague. Good listening,

Thanks; I have the original release, both CD and vinyl. The CD sounds terrible. I guess I need to play the album and then decide if I should re-purchase on Vinyl Lovers; doesn't sound too promising though!
thanks
i haven't opened it yet. its a touch of class that vinyl lovers put this out in a replica of the original limited 10 inch two-fer. As for the master, most vinyl re-issues are coming from the most recently created vault material, and more often than not, its a digital source....record's still cool though.
