Anararius

Just picked one of these up from Juno this week and it sounds nice & loud. 2017 re-press?

"You're my light - the sun can't compare to your light. You're are my dream - the moon can't compare to your beams" + some blipp blopp TB-303 and handclaps = fine audio logistics!

the 2006 pressings had none of that, probably been using the same stampers the whole time, glad I checked I was about to buy one, go get new plates made and do the long version deep across a whole side at 45rpm too

For the longest time I thought 'You rock me' was corny but over time I've come to appreciate it. How it got picked for the A side I'll never know... but it's a great tune!

Nuadora

Opened one of my new /sealed copies to play test it. While there is a rhythmic static sound in "The Sun Can't Compare" the vinyl noise is beautifully low /absent. Quieter than original pressings actually. No skips. This is the white jacket (2015) pressing. Same master as 2013 pressing.Great tunes of course.

Togor

Just got a supposedly Mint/sealed copy and there's a lot of weird static all throughout "the sun can't compare" long version...has anyone else had the same experience? wondering if this whole pressing got messed up for some reason...

Larosa

My copy (2013 RE) skips on two different places on "The Sun Can't Compare (Edit)", so be aware if you're looking for that particular track. Great record tho!

Hucama

Not sure if there is anything I can add to these reviews, cept maybe this: Ive never gone to any party/ club where this song didnt get a positive reaction when it was played. Worth it.

Simple

one of very few, and perhaps the last classic we have seen in the last decade

Welen

Picked up an original pressing today for $5, about 2 hours after ordering the new repress from Juno ... happy to have two copies!

Gtonydne

Want to sell one off to me mate?

asAS

timeless tune

Cordann

The Long Version of "The Sun Can't Compare" is an absolute amazing track!!!!

Kare

It's a clear testament to the timelessness of this record when--in the age of digital dominance--thousands of copies are pressed and repressed, and demand is still not satisfied.Tracks this good deserve to be historically recorded onto vinyl. They deserve to last a long while in the physical domain. This record is not just another fleeting moment of ones and zeroes.The quality of this grey vinyl pressing is excellent. It actually has less vinyl noise than the original pressing (blue Alleviated Records logo on label). SOUNDS GREAT!Beautiful repress for a worthy record.

If I had to name the genre crossing anthem of this decade, it would be this. No, not only that, this is the house music anthem of this decade! Supported and hammered by everyone from deep housers to techno heads, 'The Sun Can't Compare' is a modern classic and the house house anthem of the new millennium. Larry Heard, the grand daddy of house music, makes it so clear that he can still dominate house music and also with style. The subtle use of acid, the sensual lyrics, the hypnotizing rhythm, yes we have it all. Pure slice of musical heaven. I've always assumed that it is some kind of perverted joke that 'The Sun..' was pressed on the B-side since the A-side… well, honestly, I haven't even heard it. Mr. Heard, no matter if I'm listening to the stone cold old school classics or this modern day masterpiece, I salute you.

'The Sun Can't Compare' is a beautiful mesmerizing tune combining subtle acid house (with very carefully selected and crafted beats and atmospheres) with a very beautiful soulful vocal. Very emotional and driving and still stripped down and powerful, which explains that it was played by all jocks in the know in 2006 (from minimal to techno to deep-house to retrofuturists), making it a real 'underground crossover' jewel.
