Paradise [VINYL]

Product Information

Love this album and my pressing is decent, but the cardboard box set it came with was crappy and came unglued. Having charted separately from Born to Die and Paradise throughout much of Europe, the record performed moderately on international record charts. For whatever reason, this side suffers a lot more than the other sides, even though this side only as three tracks and thus should be less prone to inner groove distortion.

In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. S. Billboard 200, and consequently assisted its parent record in rising from number 79 to number 37 with release-week sales of 16,000 copies.The hype sticker attached to the front — 'Limited slipcase holds original "Born To Die" LP' — , does much to sow confusion, implying that this is in fact a double album. Type Lana Del Rey in the box under the ARTISTA column headingand Born To Die: The Paradise Edition in the box under the TÍTULO column heading.

As someone humorously pointed out below, it sounds like Body Electric was mastered after the kids went to bed, and indeed, the RMS sound volume plummets by something like 5db from Cola to Body Electric. I think this is the version I have, but I'm not sure, because the matrix numbers does not match those listed above (my C-side has 010417121-A-4 and JI etched in it, and D-side has 010417121-B-3), it was bought in Europe spring 2023 and has the "Made in Poland" stamp on the back. The Paradise Edition performed moderately on international record charts in Europe, where it charted separately from Born to Die and Paradise.

Still, when listening on large speakers, it sounds great, and on headphones, only two of the tracks are severely affected, so overall I'd rate the quality of this 4/5.

The newly recorded material employs more profane language than the original record, particularly with descriptions of sexual encounters. Both discs have distracting surface noise, are warped, and have vocal distortion on the tracks nearer the inner groove, something which my 1LP (6 songs/side) doesn’t have. Likely to be a more recent repress than the 2017 deluxe edition release of Born To Die, due to updated runouts in sides C and D. It's worth noting, however, that this seems not to be a feature of the LP, but of the album mastering in general.info/album/view/90708 The audio level issues is not a deal breaker for me because I digitize my records and mostly listen to them from my PC, which allows me to correct the audio levels in the process, but I can understand people who listen to the record directly finding this annoying. The final product was first released on November 9 in Australia, [5] and was later made available on November 13 in the United States. S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies; in doing so, it became the highest opening week for a major-label debut by a female artist since Dream with Me (2011) by Jackie Evancho entered at number two in the United States. The project peaked at number 15 on the Dutch MegaCharts, [31] and appeared at number 22 on both The Official Finnish Charts and the Swedish Sverigetopplistan.

The eight tracks appended on The Paradise Edition exemplify a "cinematic" musical style first introduced through Born to Die, and incorporates frequent electric guitar and piano instrumentation like the preceding record. Warned by other reviews, I ran mine through my record cleaning machine before playing, and was pleasantly surprised. After The Paradise Edition was released, " Dark Paradise" was serviced as the sixth single from Born to Die on March 1, 2013, [24] [25] and reached the lower ends of select European singles charts.The second disc commences with the track " Ride", which Tom Breihan from Stereogum described as a "string-drenched ballad" that saw Del Rey exploring the "crossover-soul-pop" musical styles that British singer Adele is commonly associated with. Clearly this important album was recorded / mastered on a budget and this might be the best pressing we get.
