    Has anyone compared it to the German press? Especially in low frequencies

      My copy is weird. My setup is tuned perfectly and this is the only record where I get insane amounts of sibilance on the last 2 tracks on each side. Also, none of the matrix numbers match this or any other Fiction release.

        Anyone else have a later pressing without the printed sleeve? Matrix numbers are slightly different as well.
