    A few clicks of my copy, but overall sounds great, mastering is great as well.

        Sounds amazing, very minimal packaging but the sound quality is good enough to make up for it for me.

          Fabulous vinyl with fantastic bass treb and mids. Great listening. I do agree that the sleeves are disappointing. I loathe two discs/one cover. And at least give us static guard plain inners! Still love it though.

            After years of wondering if i should just get a CD (after all, this piece of music isn't AAA) i've decided to pull the trigger on a vinyl pressing.

            For now, i'm at my first copy but it doesn't start well:
            - Packaging is bare-bone with the usual über-slim cardboard you find in the modern world.
            - Both records have marks all over the surface
            - One of them has a bubble!

            As for the listening experience:
            - mastering sounds good to me (i've only add a digital/mp3 version to compare so far) but...
            - a few tracks (mostly B2 & D3) have annoying defects. I can hear loud cracks, typical of non-fills.

            So, not a perfect pressing but if you can get for 20€ or so, i guess it's OK.

              This is great, one of my all time favortie electronic albums. Really dynamic and quiet.

                Excellent pressing. Restitution is perfect, the records are a bit noisy but nothing crazy. Really good release.

                  The pressing itself is fine, I think people often forget that original material ain't perfect and is distorted anyway, you have to keep that in mind. Inner sleeves are paper only. Overall it's nice, a classic album, sounds good.

                    I've had 2 copies of this record and both have what sounds like non-fill at the beginning of We Are The Music Makers. Anyone else have this problem?

                      At the same price, which release is better in sound? This one or 2018?
