It sounds really good and the pressing is pretty much silent. It’s the standard Pallas treatment that I’ve come to love

got my copy off target and the vinyl was switched out with MOP. I now own two MOP vinyls.... everything was sealed and come with its sticker, lucky for me I already had garage inc. to listen to the songs i was missing so it wasn't that bad.

A useful example of how primitive the digital transfer and mastering techniques were during this era.
A bad sounding conversion by modern standards which makes it interesting to wonder how it must have sounded to the earlier generation of CD listeners whose ears were trained on all-analog audio.

This is a Fake Modern Sleeve, made to scam through radio promos.

Does the 1989 press have a hype sticker? Found a sealed copy not sure how to tell if 87 or 89. Is there a difference between 1987 and 1989 version covers? Hype sticker on mine.

I have an OG press with NO hype stickers or any added visuals on the cover. Just the band and the album title in the bottom right corner that all versions have. Do I have a rarer version or are these normal? All the variations I have ever seen all have added visuals or stickers on the jacket.
