    Not as much noise as I was expecting, but still not a great sounding press

      Mine sounds like it was recorded from a cassette tape in 1987. Songs are great, but I almost felt like my deck wasn’t running consistently at 33.3

        As with others, agree that this is a wonderful album but a garbage pressing. My edges are chipped, TONS of noise. Definitely among the worst sounding records I own, unfortunately.

          My pressing has a lump about 1 cm across on the B side. Thankfully It doesn't seem to affect the sound, in fact the whole album sounds pretty good besides some light surface noise (I have yet to give it a deep clean). The music itself is of course fantastic.

            My copy, purchased brand new, is not only warped and has a jagged edge, but the hole is too small for the spindle.

              Sounds good but my copy unlike the description here both sides are B.

                Purchased brand new. Pressing is terrible. Permanent smudge on record and loose plastic on edges. Even worse, it sounds like a smokey filter was magically embedded into the recording. Worst record I have ever bought. I’m throwing it in the trash.

                  can't tell for the life of me if i have a 2011 or 2016 press

                    Mine sounds fantastic, not gonna lie. A few sections of slight crackle here and there, but overall a quiet, warm, and dynamic sounding press for me.

                      Great album on a terrible vinyl pressing. Lots of noise throughout.
