1. Cover: This lavish Nancy Donald Cover comes in LP size much better advantage than in the more than four times smaller CD form. One can see fine details of the pompous title image, which hardly reflected at the digital output. For example can be seen in the lower right half of the young Michael Jackson in a gondola, what one might overlook at first glance. The visual impact of DANGEROUS should not be in this business aside.
2. Sound: In stark contrast to the 2001 CD remastering is not open to criticism. The two plates do not suffer from the Loudness Wars syndrome, in which the volume is set too high the songs affected the sound quality. You can hear the difference already the opener JAM: The title was not mixed too loud on vinyl. If you have converted the track from the CD to MP3 format and transfer it to a portable music player such as iPod, this falls on painfully. Then one turns JAM namely at full volume on, you get the feeling to be deaf. This feeling does not adjust in the vinyl. The sound is full and well-balanced. The fact that 180g vinyls have been used for optimum sound for this neuaufgelegte pressure, contributes to this impression. Audiophile listeners are therefore likely to have fun at this publishing DANGEROUS.
Is there a downside? If it involves only a small flaw: The packaging of the 2010s vinyl edition of DANGEROUS is not like the LP-edition from 1991, which is traded for Michael Jackson's death high among collectors, foldable. But there are two discs in stable cases that are printed with all the lyrics of the album and also carry some images - everything in high contrast black and white. Thus one refers to one of MJ's About Hits Black or White, which is part of the DANGEROUS album, and on the emotional range of the album, ranging from peaceful minded to aggressive and angry.
Conclusion: Using the content quality of Michael Jackson's Dangerous Man does not lose a lot of words well. It is an aggressively-soulful work that combines both elements of rock and R'n'B in an ambivalent mixture acting. MUSIC ON VINYL has given itself as with previous editions of MJ's works on LP much trouble and once again presents the work of the King of Pop in an appropriate form.
