    It's such a shame when there isn't a perfect pressing of great albums, I compared 3 versions, this one is amazing, unfortunately there are a few pops and scratches even after cleaning, but the sound is wow! The bright HMV has no noise but the sound is not great, the normal European UK pressing also has a lot of errors

      How does this release sound compared to the normal vinyl? Is it still full of surface noise, sibilance, and pressing defects?

          Been following this page for awhile now and am looking for a copy. Have a very substantial collection so let me know what you're interested in getting and hopefully we can work out a trade.

            I have an artist's proof of this release, so not a numbered version. Does anybody have an idea how many of those were made?
