Steve Hillage - Deeply Vale mp3 album

I had looked forward with great anticipation to hearing this wonderful looking production since clicking the 'Buy' button. This evening I placed the psychedelic disc it on my turntable, but within seconds was examining my stylus to see if I had picked up someone's old cardigan on it. Then I turned to look at my amplifier settings to see if I was somehow inadvertently connected to next door's speakers instead of my own. When it struck me, it was actually just like being there at Deeply Vale, had I been two fields away listening to the set with my sleeping bag wrapped around my head. Or perhaps it is just a cut made from some badly degraded old tape recording that's been left in someone's garage since 1977. Mould and all. A friend at work was 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at the pretty vinyl saying how she'd want to hang it on the wall. I think she might have a point. It won't be a frequent visitor the my turntable. Pretty but useless.

I almost paid out good money for this dog shit, but fortunately a friend beat me to it and clued me in that it was an OZit release! 'Nuff said. How that label has gotten away with the amount of dog shit cash-ins they release is anyone's guess. I haven't heard all their releases so I'm sure there must be at least one that sounds decent but so far I haven't heard it. I don't know much about Chris Hewitt but judging by the crap he releases he doesn't give a shit about sound quality. Avoid like the plague.

I read the reviews but still had to have it. Reviews are right. This sounds bad. It's like they put time into everything about this release except for the sound. Great packaging, awesome looking vinyl, PHENOMENAL performance, and yet terrible mix, eq, production, etc. I dig me some serious Hillage so I don't regret the purchase, just super bummed it sounds soooo bad....

Splatter vinyl, ltd. edition, 180 g. vinyl. Looks perfekt but sound like shit. To be avoided.

Very disappointing album because of the very bad quality of recordings. There exists far better sounding bootlegs than this one.

terrysuki Why did you give this shit five stars? It sucks and you know it, so I don't get it. Didn't you realise that's what you did.? No I didn't, must have done it by accident. Sorry that is was confusing
