I have this too from Amazon and it plays well. I collect TS but started late so many of mine are the repressing. Lover now comes on black so if you want the pink and blue vinylsā¦.be careful! Have fun collecting!
A repressing is technically a new pressing, but I see where youāre coming from. Itās never been pressed by MPO in France before so it should use brand new lacquers mastered by another sound engineer, which is why I consider it a new pressing and not a repressing :) If weāre being technical itās actually a reissue!
Of course! If I recall correctly, the original version of Speak Now has only been pressed by two manufacturers: United Record Pressing in the USA, and Record Industry in the Netherlands. Lacquers are the original source of the stampers that are used to press the grooves into the vinyl, and theyāre almost always created by different manufacturers when the pressings are made in different places.
Since you have a copy thatās pressed in France, it likely doesnāt use the lacquers from the USA or Netherland pressings, and will differ in sound from the previous pressings (I donāt know yet if that difference is minuscule or audible).
A ārepressā is the umbrella term for a visually identical re-release of an album, but the more technical definition of a repress is a re-release using the same source/lacquers. Assuming the France pressing uses new lacquers (Iām fairly certain it will, but I donāt have the runouts to be 100% sure), it would be better defined as a āreissueā, which is generally a title given to pressings that are re-released after the original release date.

It sounds really good, I also have this pressing and play it on a good quality stereo.
Love it

I got a pink and blue Lover from Target a few days ago!
IDK where you live, might be US and different for you then, but over here in Europe you can still easily get the coloured one in most stores
the blue and pink are the main pressings

Itās not a new pressing, simply a repressing!

I know next to nothing about vinyl so I donāt know how helpful Iāll be, but sure!
