The Best Of Sade

Really impressed with the quality and packaging of this item. Pleasing to find it wrapped in cellophane and carefully packaged to protect it in transport. Good to see a business taking pride in its product and care for the customer

got it for the album cover of her picture LOVE IT, great selection of songs too

I have now replaced my original pressing of this LP (a Legacy 180G) with this new pressing being sold by Amazon. They have been keeping a secret! It is a half speed Abbey Road Mastering. "This rare and specialised technique transforms difficult to cut high-end frequencies into relatively easy to cut mid-range frequencies. The result is a cut with excellent high frequency response and very solid and stable stereo images. In short, half-speed mastering produced a master of the highest quality that enables the pressing plant to produce a superlative record." The code for the LP is the same - but the secret lies in the etching on the vinyl. Someone who clearly respects Sade has produced these with utter care and love. VERY, V*E*R*Y special pressing. Faultless. Will the record company (EPIC?) please, PLEASE, listen and re-release the whole back catalogue on vinyl, preferably mastered in the same way so we can stop having to pay £100 plus for second hand copies, most of which were poorly mastered. The rumour is that Sade is working on a new album - hopefully that will bring the re-releases as matter of course - but we need them now! This may sound sad, my life would not be complete with Sade's music. It is astonishing beautiful and her care with words and production takes your breath away. We may have to wait 10 years until Sade is ready, but you know, just know, that what comes will be worth it. Please do not wait and buy this album now before they are gone. It is truly WOW! I do not have a more perfectly cut and mastered piece of vinyl in my collection. Thank you to whoever has done this. Thank you Sade.

This is a brilliant double album -for me the only minor improvement would to be to bolster side 4 up with ‘Morning Bird and The Safest Place but hey that’s my personal choice. On the technical side I think this is a set 180g pressings though I can’t find anything on the album sleeve or record to confirm this - it’s just feels as heavy as my other 180g pressings, so I guess it’s not a 120g. Again there is nothing on the album sleeve or record to state this a half speed pressing so I don’t know BUT the audio quality is excellent and tracks like No Ordinary Love send shivers though you on my Cambridge Edge system 😎 Sade has such a unique voice and the band are excellent musicians - a rare treat of proper music.

What have Lady Gaga, Adele, Shirley Bassey, Amy Winehouse, Gloria Estefan, Etta James, Annie Lennox, Sarah Vaughan, Tina Turner, Dione Warwick, Debbie Harry, Lisa Stansfield and Sade all got in common? They all have ‘Contralto’ voices! Sade has made 6 studio albums to date, 1984 – 2010, all of which have featured in the UK top 10. She has had 4 top 20 singles here with ‘Your Love is King’ reaching Number 6. Aside from having the most wonderful voice, her music is the epitome of romantic easy listening. I love the almost hypnotic but subtle back beat to her music. The only very small critique I can offer is that all the very best songs are in the early part of the listen and that some of the others don't quite live up to that standard - but over all ... lovely!

Unbelievable!.. this is a Miles Showall 1/2 speed abbey road studios press. Signed in the run off. A collectors piece and Amazon don’t realise what this is. 😳😉 Obviously the pressing is immaculate and the sound reproduction is beyond belief. The genius of Miles Showall at his best. If you can get this, get it. Sade sounds so delicious. 🥰

It is good 👍

My mum used to play this album when I was younger I loved it back then. Bought this now I've invested in a vinyl set. The quality is amaxing even on my beginner set up. Sounds are warm and multi tonal and Sades voice is very clear and beautiful. I love every song which is important as you can't normally skip tracks. Only downside is the disks are held in cardboard sleeves not the paper ones so I need to upgrade to protect them

Sades best album oh my goodness

最近良く聞いています。 好きなボーカルです 特にスムースオペレーターが大好きで購入しました。 ベストCDではないでしょうか。

Perfeito!! Muito bem embalado, garantindo que o produto chegue em perfeitas condições e realmente chegou!! minha maior preocupação em comprar Vinil pela internet e não pessoalmente é o transporte desse tipo de produto, que pode danificar, entortar e etc. Veio dois disco de vinil, qualidade superior de audio, apesar do tipo de mídia. Encontrar esse disco dessa artista maravilhosa por esse preço foi uma oportunidade única.

Excellent album de Sade, un best of avec l'essentiel.

Perfecto, buena selección de temas. Tiempo para mi con una buena música de fondo 🥰
