I will probably inspect a mint 1973 Japanese copy in a local record store, though it's rather expensive (nearly $100).
Uriah Heep "Sweet Freedom" BMG/Sanctuary Records reissue
No matter what cartridge/turntable I use, my BMG/Sanctuary Records reissue of Uriah Heep "Sweet Freedom" sounds awful (HF distortion, excessive sibilants, etc.). By comparison, 'Look at yourself' on the same label sounds quite good.
Any opinions on the original or close to original issue of Sweet Freedom LP on Bronze Records? Is it devoid of such nasties?

You´ve great taste for music : ) Buy a copy of the original UK edition, Bronze ILPS 9245: https://www.discogs.com/Uriah-Heep-Sweet-Freedom/release/1918693 All Castle LP reissues suffer from peaky, some more or less sibilant sound, except "Look at Yourself" CLALP 107 which is the finest of all Castle reissues with dynamic, clean nice sound: https://www.discogs.com/Uriah-Heep-Look-At-Yourself/release/2436034 Happy collecting |
