Like John’s whispering in your ear Review by Jimbo
Thank you, thank you, thank you Simply Vinyl, for caring so much. Solid Air is one of my all time favourite records. I have it on original vinyl, CD and MP3. None of them come even close to the sound of this pressing. It’s crisp, clear, warm and deep. You can hear every rumble of John’s growling voice – it’s like having him whisper in your ear. Truly remarkable. (Posted on 25/03/2011)
Solid all-round performance Review by moog_man
An impeccable pressing of this fine album – reassuringly, a genuine audiophile product; one that justifies its price tag. Every aspect of this album has been thought-through and meets critical expectations (mine, that is). From the quality printed gatefold cover with extra thick spine, the 70s reproduction Island Records label, a perfectly flat 180gm vinyl cut and clean black surface. All protectively housed in a thick clear envelope with an embossed Simply Vinyl logo. Literally, the company’s only obvious “branding” – and to be acknowledged for that reason, ie. remaining in the background. Solid Air was the album I used to audition my first hi-fi purchase, 35 years ago. A replacement copy has been a long time coming. And this one’s well worth the wait. (Posted11/05/2011)

”Owning a Simply Vinyl beautifully packaged limited pressing is simply an opportunity to own a piece of art.”
Quote from johnmartyn.com official website:
”Meticulous attention to detail has delivered the highest quality re-mastered analogue sound on supreme quality 180 gram vinyl and all beautifully packaged with the original gatefold sleeve. Simply Vinyl set themselves a very high standard and it certainly shows here in what is a superb quality release in terms of both sound and packaging.”
