Why would Walmart be any different then anyone else? It has the same sku as one that you would buy from record store. If it's a bad edited and pressed album, they will be bad everywhere.. that's how its always been.. there must be 30 pressings of this album and some are better then others. You probably can Google that question. Lots of albums now are being edited to have more bass for the younger generation.
You've got a good point, but I did get a walmart exclusive picture art version of thriller that was really warped and sounds worse than my parent's original LP. So, it does happen. There's also the whole issue where new pressings are just taken directly from the CD, but I don't really mind that. It does bother the crap out of the analog purists though. I just love those heavy 180gram LP's.

Generally picture discs sound worse than regular LP's. I would say that for most people this 180 gram version will sound pretty good. I still have my original 1974 copy that sounds great.

Just the point if you want the best pressing option available, you will pay for it, and you won't find it at Wal-Mart.

The last time the Walmart vinyl albums were on sale some people were saying that these pressings were not as good as the original pressings. Does anyone have any idea of the quality of this particular pressing .
This is the 2016 remaster, it was mastered from a digital file as opposed to an all analogue cut. The last analogue pressing was the 30th anniversary from 2003. That record goes for around a couple hundred dollars now and if you want a near mint 1st pressing from the UK you are going to spend about a couple grand. While not as good as either of those versions this is still a great sounding record. It is well made (many new records are basically defective from factory QA) and comes with 2 posters/2 stickers inside. The part on Walmart's website that states "CD" is a misprint since everything else points to it being a vinyl record. Also, the 180 gram weight doesn't affect sound at all and is basically just a sales tagline.

When you look around at the average prices of Vinyl available, $20 for an LP is cheap by any standard. Vinyl is by far and large expensive, now.

I believe the first records were made of beeswax and were cylinder in shape.
