Today we're comparing 2 vinyl copies of Bob Marley's 'LEGEND' album.

Is the 30th Anniversary Tri-color 2LP vinyl edition better than the new Half Speed Master pressing? Hear the difference in this video!
We'll compare the audio quality of both to decide which edition is the best choice for you.

*** spoiler: In my opinion, the Half Speed sounds great at points, but the double tri-colour pressing also wins in some areas, especially in the bass reproduction throughout, where the Half Speed sounds a little weak.
Which one do you prefer, and why?

A good pair of quality headphones will always help to do the comparions. Let me know in the comments below which is your preferred copy, I’d love to hear what you thought.
