Editorial Reviews
Heavyweight black vinyl cut from HD 96/24 masters with MP3 coupon Heaven or Las Vegas followed in 1990, and the release was also via 4AD in the UK and Capitol in the US. It was the band’s last album for 4AD, and was their most commercially successful possibly due to Elizabeth Fraser’s much more intelligible lyrics. Numerous publications declared it one of the best albums of the 90s and Pitchfork called it “a core of ungodly gorgeous songs that is every bit as moving and relevant today as it ever was”.

I've read at a number of places, including here, that the pressing of this album was pretty bad. "Horrible" is a word seen often. So I've waited for quite awhile before finally giving in and purchasing.
This is a great pressing, flat out. The vinyl is nice and quiet, the bass is punchy and more prominent, the soundstage reaches right out and engulfs you at times. It flat out sounds great.
Did some research and found that there was a pressing in 2013 and again in 2020. I have to guess that the 2013 was the bad one and they corrected the issues with the 2020 press.
If, like me, you've been holding out because you'd heard it sucked, I can assure you it does NOT. This beautiful album has never sounded better, ever.
The pressing quality is exceptional, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in the atmospheric beauty of each track. The album's iconic cover art is beautifully presented, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Cocteau Twins, the "Heaven or Las Vegas" vinyl is a must-have for any vinyl collection. It's a timeless piece of musical art that continues to captivate and enchant with each play.
Anyway, none of the above paragraph matters; I apologize. What matters is these tracks are majestic, euphoric, sometimes dreamlike and mystical; sometimes anthemic. The rhythms are entrancing. The brain entrains upon receipt of phenomena such as rhyming and alliteration in lyrics sung in a non-language. The music is heavily multi-layered, with all sorts of currents and countercurrents and spaces you can duck into and surf a standing wave for a while then duck into somewhere else. The sound quality of all the copies I've listened to has been fantastic too, ahead of its time. If they ever fully remastered this I would buy my fifth or sixth copy.
