Porco Rosso: Image Album LP

The jacket art alone is worth it, but the new mastering makes the whole album feel alive—like you're sitting in a smoky Adriatic café. Side B flows so beautifully into the next track that I kept forgetting to flip the record.

The new mastering really brings out the warmth in the strings and brass, especially on the quieter tracks. I was hoping the vinyl would include a download code, but the sound quality more than makes up for that omission.

The mastering really brings out a warmth that suits the Italian seaside vibe perfectly. I just wish the track listing was printed somewhere on the sleeve itself instead of just the insert.
