    Is my copy the only one out there with the label for Side A on either side of LP1? That's the only very minor gripe I have about this release. It sounds and looks brilliant otherwise.

      Mine sounds great from a mastering standpoint. Very dynamic and clear. Only complaint is some scattered side A surface noise, but it's far from ruining the experience. Overall a very nice pressing.

        Does anyone know if this is the original 2000 mix or the 2007 remix?

          Does this remaster remove the high-pitched noise in "Last Chance" yet? Or am I wrong to assume this is a bug and not a feature?

            As expected by a release of KScope/PT/Steven Wilson, this pressing is quiet, with superb dynamics and punchy bass.
            Nothing to complain about and much to congratulate in this pressing.

            The only thing that surprised me is that this release comes with paper sleeves (the regular ones instead of the poly bags) and this is not exactly clear vinyl; it is more opaque.

            Rest assured, it doesn't disappoint.
