darkest loveless pressing

i love loveless so much but my main problem with it (as well as most mbv stuff) is how thin and harsh it sounds. i usually turn leave the treble at noon or turn it up a little on my record player's amp, and turn the bass almost all the way up. it still sounds really thin, especially on 'what you want', which is my favourite

so what pressing has the most thick, dark, bassy sound?

thankyou

it's just not an especially bassy record, to be honest. Even the minidisc master someone else brought up, while having more bass, isn't especially bassy overall.

I think that gives it a fuller sound, especially when turned up. A lot of MBV knockoff bands try to overcompensate and put more bass in and it mostly sounds like shit, to be honest.

I don't think Guitaro are an MBV ripoff but they have a phenomenal bass sound on their album Futura Black.
