UPDATE: Since publishing this review, multiple viewers have reported a repeatable skip on Track 1 of Summertime Dream. I’ve added a pinned comment with the latest information.

In this video, I compare these new Rhino Reserve editions with earlier pressings while exploring the music, the mastering, and what has made these two classic singer-songwriter albums endure for nearly fifty years.

Both albums were mastered by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed by Fidelity Record Pressing, resulting in beautifully produced vinyl editions that deserve serious attention from collectors and music lovers alike.

Thanks for watching, and if you enjoy thoughtful discussions about music, records, and the art of listening, please consider subscribing to The Pressing Matters.
