Big Takeover Says X's "Wild Gift" and "Under the Big Black Sun" Re-Issues are Best of 2010
Wild Gift
Reviewing a record as revered as L.A.'s X's 1981 sophomore "Wild Gift" is at once a high honor and a daunting task. Out of print on vinyl for 15 years, this 180-gram reissue, housed in a dead-on reproduction of the original packaging, right down to the inner sleeve, improves upon the original by swapping the the compression of the Slash Records mix for a brighter, sharper sound. All the dynamic interplay between band members that made "Wild Gift" such a unique experience is clean and clear, and all the nuance buried in the old mix have been given new life without sacrificing an ounce of bite. My reissue pick of the year, already!
Under the Big Black Sun
The same adjectives utilized in describing that record can more than neatly be transferred to their re-release of X's third and most equally important record. It's an essential slice of American punk rock that begs constant re-discovery and constant adoration. My pick of the issue, again!

An X fan's testament to Prime Vinyl quality
I just wanted to express my gratitude for the fine work you've done on the new X Wild Gift re-issue. I picked it up last week and am happy I did.
As someone frequently disappointed by so-called 'audiophile' or 'collector' re-issues (especially those pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl) I must say that you've demonstrated how it ought to be done. The record has been flawlessly manufactured, with no audible surface noise (especially between tracks); the record looks vivid and is exceedingly glossy; the packaging is almost a perfect replication of the original release; and there is no vinyl warpage to speak of. Most importantly, the sound dynamics are tremendous - I feel like I might be listening to the original Slash Records version when it was first opened. That's about all a vinyl enthusiast can ask for with a re-issue.
Cheers. The hard work is most appreciated.
