Frequently Asked Questions

Is this LP the original 1989 Stone Roses release or a reissue?
No, this is not the original 1989 pressing. This listing is a limited vinyl LP repressing that was remastered and released on March 1, 2016 by Sony Music CMG, produced by John Leckie. The remastering and repressing process means the audio has been revisited for clarity and balance, and the physical discs are newly pressed rather than being vintage copies. Collectors and fans who want improved sonic detail or an available copy of the landmark debut will benefit most from this edition. If you specifically want an original 1989 mint pressing for historical value or investment, the original press is different and typically rarer than this 2016 repressing.
Is this remastered LP suitable for casual listeners or only for collectors?
Yes, this remastered LP is suitable for both casual listeners and collectors. The 2016 remaster produced by John Leckie restores and clarifies the original recordings while preserving the album sequencing, and the pressing comes from Sony Music CMG so you get an official release. Casual listeners will appreciate the accessible listening experience and familiar tracklist including 'I Wanna Be Adored' and 'I Am The Resurrection.' Collectors will value that it is a limited repressing of a landmark Madchester album. One limitation to note is that collectors seeking original 1989 pressings for rarity should look for first-press variants, since this 2016 repressing is focused on availability and improved mastering rather than vintage provenance.
Will this vinyl play on a standard home turntable?
Yes, this is a standard LP format and will play on most home turntables. The product is an LP remaster pressed to the regular 12 inch vinyl format used for full-length albums, and it contains the original album tracklist remastered for vinyl playback. To get the best results, use a well-aligned cartridge, the correct stylus tracking force recommended by your cartridge manufacturer, and a clean anti-static brush to remove surface dust before playback. Audiophiles with high-end phono stages and tonearms will likely hear more detail, while casual setups will still play the record without special modifications. If you have a portable or DJ-only player, check that it supports standard LP playback speeds and alignment for optimal sound.
How does this 2016 remastered repressing differ from other editions or releases?
This 2016 release is a remastered repressing issued by Sony Music CMG and produced by John Leckie, which differentiates it from original 1989 pressings and other later editions. The key differences are the remastering process that aims to enhance clarity and balance, and the fact that it is a repressing rather than an original first press. The album’s original track sequence is preserved, including songs like 'She Bangs The Drums' and 'Made Of Stone.' Fans who want improved sonic detail and an officially sanctioned pressing will benefit most from this edition. Keep in mind that original 1989 pressings will be more collectible for rarity and may have different mastering characteristics compared to this 2016 remaster.
Does this LP include the original album tracklist and song order?
Yes, this vinyl includes the original debut album tracklist and order as presented on the 1989 release, now in remastered form. The pressing lists key tracks such as 'I Wanna Be Adored,' 'She Bangs The Drums,' 'Waterfall,' and 'I Am The Resurrection' in their album sequence across the LP sides. Having the original sequencing preserved makes this pressing suitable for listeners who want the intended flow of the album and for DJs or radio hosts who reference original track order. One limitation is that this edition does not advertise additional bonus tracks or alternate takes, so if you are seeking expanded editions with extra material, you should verify for special releases that include bonus content.
Is this vinyl a good gift for a Stone Roses fan?
Yes, this remastered LP makes a strong gift for a Stone Roses fan. It is a limited vinyl LP repressing of the band's landmark debut, remastered and produced under Sony Music CMG with John Leckie credited, and it contains the band’s signature tracks that many fans cherish. The physical presentation of a remastered LP is appealing to listeners who value tangible music formats and album artwork. This edition is particularly well suited for fans who enjoy vinyl listening or those building a collection of classic alternative rock records. If the recipient specifically values original 1989 first pressings for historical rarity, a vintage copy would be different from this modern repressing.
How long will it take for this record to ship after I order?
The record ships in 5 to 10 business days from supplier stock, as noted in the product listing. That processing window reflects supplier fulfillment timing before the item enters transit, so you should allow the stated 5 to 10 business days for dispatch. Actual delivery time after shipping depends on your chosen carrier and destination, so customers planning gifts or time-sensitive arrivals should factor in carrier transit times in addition to the supplier dispatch window. If you need an earlier delivery, consider ordering well in advance or contacting customer support to check for faster fulfillment options.
Will the remastered LP sound noticeably different from digital streaming versions?
Yes, the remastered LP can sound different from digital streaming versions, and many listeners report differences in tonal balance and perceived warmth. This edition was remastered for vinyl and produced by John Leckie, which can change equalization, dynamic shaping, and stereo imaging compared to the digital masters used by streaming platforms. Additionally, vinyl playback imparts analog characteristics like surface noise and harmonic coloration that some listeners describe as warmer or more 'present.' Who benefits most are listeners with a good turntable and phono stage who enjoy analog playback nuances. The limitation is that perceived improvement depends on playback equipment quality and the comparative digital master used by your streaming service.
Is this repressing likely to increase in value for collectors over time?
Possibly, but not guaranteed. This is a limited repressing of a highly influential album and is an official Sony Music CMG release remastered in 2016 by John Leckie, which gives it collector interest and context. Demand for iconic albums can support long-term value, especially if the repressing is issued in limited quantities or goes out of print. However, repressings generally do not appreciate as quickly or as predictably as original first pressings from 1989, which are rarer. Collectors who want a playable, official pressing at reasonable availability will benefit most from this edition, while investors seeking significant appreciation should prioritize confirmed scarce first-press variants and provenance.
How should I care for this remastered LP to keep it sounding its best?
Use standard vinyl care practices to preserve sound quality and longevity. Before playback, gently clean the record with an anti-static brush to remove surface dust and occasional deeper cleaning with a record-cleaning solution and microfiber pad will reduce contamination. Store the LP upright in a protective inner sleeve inside the outer jacket and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping and sleeve damage. Proper turntable setup including correct tracking force, cartridge alignment, and a clean stylus will minimize wear and deliver the best sound from this 2016 remaster produced by John Leckie. These practices benefit both collectors and daily listeners who want consistent playback quality.
