Dummy

Great condition arrived quickly.

Every girl I dated in the 90s owned this album. I never minded it, but it wasn't something a "dude" purchased. Ahhh the blissful ignorance of youth how I do not miss you. Recently bumped into this LP on a list of reissues on vinyl you should own. What the heck, ya can't listen to Mob 47 all the time...It's good, damn good. I don't know anything about this band, or the style (gosh this is described a lot of different ways) but I'd put it in the same league as Lou Reed. Placing it that highly as it's something that everyone should have on their shelf, even if you're unfamiliar with the band or anything else they've done. Much like LR's Transformer, the more you listen, the more you like it.Musically speaking this is far far from my usual style of room clearing/horrible production fast or super sludge heavy I regularly torture my long suffering wife with, this is "heavy" in it's own way. It burns, it smoulders, thanks to the vocalist ripping her heart out and making you look closely at all the little lines some past lover burned in. You can see this being performed on stage in a smokey lounge. Which leads me to ATMOSPHERE. Dummy has it in spades. This is my new rainy day album. It's not bad music to get laid to either...Just throwing that out there kids.The tracks are clean without being overproduced. The heavy vinyl sounds fine on my mid/high end system. Little bit of surface noise adds a lot of character, but their was quite a bit of it for a "new" Lp. I find this happens quite a bit ordering from amazon. I have a feeling their vinyl storage might make me cringe If I were to ever visit a shipping warehouse.

Back in my senior year of high school when grudge fashion and pastels soft colors were considered beautiful... this band made its mark. I used to always listen to this album and just let everything inside me wash away. This is a great conversational music and lounge sound. Brings back memories.

I am very disappointed in this purchase. There is a serious warp in the vinyl. It plays ok and most folks wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but I certainly can.

This album makes me happy. It is the best of 90’s Trip Hop. Beth’s voice is amazing. Geoff’s beats and samples are on point!

My husband loved getting the Dummy By Portishead CD for his birthday! Thanks!

This LP is exactly what you're looking for if you love this title. The sleeve and cover are high quality stock with the very excellent original graphics. the LP is properly thick and heavy with a beautiful label on it. The sound is phenomenal...perfect.These are of limited quantity and will sell out. Buy one now or pay $100 plus dollars for one a year from now.

Amazing album all around

A generally satisfying 20th anniversary 180g reissue in a spot-varnished gatefold sleeve that incorporates the original insert artwork. Thoughtfully, the black paper inner bag is lined. Despite complaints of sibilance in some online reviews, I would suggest that this was part of the original that most of us were first drawn to on CD back in 1994. It does take on a slightly different dynamic on vinyl. The music has aged well - Glory Box still pushes all the buttons - and my copy, at least, is flat and very quiet.

well worth it

10代の頃にCDで購入してから、大好きなアルバムの１つです。Vinylでも欲しかったので、購入しました。改めてじっくり聴き浸りました。名盤です。

C'è poco da dire.LP fantastico, album di debutto della band di Bristol, lo acquistai qui su Amazon ad Agosto 2016 e scoprii con mia grande sorpresa che si trattava di una ristampa del 2014 per il 20esimo anniversario di uscita del disco e lo pagai solo 14,99€ in quanto in offerta.Disco dal suono pulitissimo fantastico, pulito e ricco di suoni caldi e bassi, tipicamente trip-hop.Confezione Gatefold con disco da 180 grammi.Consiglio, a tutti i fan e non, di acquistarlo perché ce la possibilità che Amazon abbia ancora quella fornitura targata 20th Anniversary.

Capolavoro trip hop noir!Però... un vero peccato perché l'album è arrivato con evidenti difetti sul bordo in cartone, chi acquista dischi in vinile per collezionarli può comprendere il disappunto.
