Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality

And ten years later...

Yes, I agree with the OP.
I have the US Universal Republic vinyl version and as soon as I dropped it on the plate something sounded off to me; it's as if it was mastered from an mp3 file.
I haven't compared it to the CD yet, but I looked the edition up suspecting that this was a repress issue and wondering if I should just stop purchasing records from the same company; the research led me to this thread.
It is not more clear to me now but I hope it will be more clear to you.

It's too bad. I was so excited to get her "Back to Black" album, my first vinyl purchase ever. I quickly learned that all recordings and pressings are not created equal. Terrible studio production.

The only Amy lp I own is the 2015 re-issue/re-master of "Frank" on UMe/Island that I played recently. Yes, it is obviously a digital recording but umm, (frankly), I enjoyed it. Not perfect but I don't hate it.

I am with @koegz on this one, sounds really good on my system the music/songs are great and as usual the album sounds better than the CD. With all that said I still like Frank better.

I'm not an audiophile even though I spent money like one. Let's start with this. There are no pressing of Back to Black that sound awful. Some are better than others. No it's not "audiophile". It's not supposed to be. She was an incredibly gifted singer who happened to be a drug addict. She sang. It got recorded. "It is what it is." A lot of people have said this. I can generally live with this.

And the smartest thing a friend of mine said after that phase and it utterly calms me,"What isn't, it just isn't."

Say it with me. "It is what it is, and what it isn't, it just isn't."
