In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Talk Talk's iconic 'It's My Life' album, it has been cut at Half-Speed by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios, overseen by Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris and Charlie Hollis, son of Mark Hollis, giving the album a greater depth. Originally released in February 1984, 'It's My Life' is the band's second album and followed the 1982 release of their debut 'The Party's Over' which initially received moderate success in the UK reaching number 21 in the UK chart and finding some global success. By the time they came to writing and recording 'It's My Life' the band had gone from the four piece to a three with Simon Brenner leaving the band. The album initially found considerable international success. 'Such a Shame', the album's first single was a top 10 hit across Europe and the album's title track entered global Top 40's including in the US.

Superb quality Vinyl re-release
Took a punt on this "re-release" as can never find a decent copy of the originally released vinyl !!So glad I did - re-released vinyl can be very hit or miss in my experience - thankfully, this re-released vinyl is a massive HIT !! Punchy, dynamic and crisp sounding and VERY quiet vinyl - IMHO better than the slightly thinner sounding original, without the dreaded muffled mids and upper bass that frequently plague so many vinyl re-issues nowadays.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

Distorted
The media could not be loaded. This is my favorite album ftom Talk Talk so of course I was excited to get the 40th anniversary to add to my collection. The video I've attached shows this record compared to another record I have (Saltburn's soundtrack) to show that it's not my record player at fault. This special edition Talk Talk doesn't play as clearly as all my other records. It's staticy and garbled in some places, no matter what volume I play it at.

Wtf!
They could press flat records in the 60's, why can't they press flat records now? I really couldn't give a monkeys how many grams the weight of the record is or what speed it was mastered at... If it isn't flat I'm not putting anywhere near my stylus!!
