Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

your question is quite generic...

...there have been about 17 different pressing runs of japanese blue note titles, alone, spanning over 30 years. generally speaking, the vinyl is clean (not noisy).

of course, the specific japanese pressing matters, but as a general rule the japanese vinyl does sound quite good and is easier to find in top condition. better than originals? no, not really. if you hear them side-by-side in comparable condition, you will hear why originals are 'better' -- but if you never hear the original you probably won't know the difference. also, if you are attempting to find originals in top condition, you will pay 3-20 times as much as you would for a japanese pressing of the same material.

good luck!
