Product Information

Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene. Portals Limited Edition Baby Pink with Black Swirl Vinyl 1LP, in a 12” x 12” gatefold jacket, with printed inner sleeve. There is a little surface noise and a few pops, but it makes up for it with the even sound, booming bass and the proper pauses between songs. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.

I was most impressed that they even printed a cool design on the inner walls of the outer LP cover, something you rarely see. Vinyl comes in a fully color printed inner sleeve as well as a separate sheet with additional credits. the mockup sticker that is shown on the front clearly shows a translucent violet vinyl but when i opened it the vinyl was white with some kind of purple splatter - honestly i wasn’t disappointed with this. Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. I must be the most unlucky person but my copy finally arrived and I’m quite disapointed with the sound quality.Martinez lifted the curtain on PORTALS earlier this week with an instantly viral TikTok video confirming the death of her notorious alter-ego "Cry Baby," last seen considering whether to walk into the light at the beguiling conclusion of 2019's internationally acclaimed full-length film, K-12. The stylus was moving left to right with the largest sways I have ever seen, it had a lot of surface noise on both sides and was covered in dust. PORTALS LIMITED EDITION BLOODSHOT TRANSLUCENT VINYL 1LP COLOR MAY VARY NOT EVERY VINYL WILL LOOK THE SAME. Mine skipped a lot unfortunately and at first I thought it was my player since I have a mid level player but I played a record I never had problems with and it was fine. Portals Limited Edition Bloodshot Translucent Vinyl 1LP, in a 12” x 12” gatefold jacket, with printed inner sleeve.

The ugliest variant of ALL TIME, not just of theses variants but of ALL TIME, pink and black dont mix well it loks like a disgusting greasy black dirt all over a weird pink vinyl, I cannot tell you how ugly this variant is dear lord. I know this music style leans towards a lot of processing and surreal sounds and that adds to the feeling of the album.Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung.

I got a truly awful pressing, three gigantic scratches on the B side covering all tracks, resulting in skipping. The color was super disappointing (I really wanted the pink and black to be separated but it was all mixed and murky). While this record does not come in a gatefold, the jacket and printed inner sleeve are thick and sturdy.

After a lot of reports from others I was expecting surface noise free copy but even after thorough cleaning i couldn’t get rid of the noise…mostly affecting side A while side B is pretty smooth.Ambitious and rigorous in its 360 presentation, this is another step on for one of the most intriguing artists of her generation - the huge impact of the release is absolutely guaranteed.
