    Plays silent, no pops or clicks whatsoever. I wouldn't say it's the best sounding recording in my collection (lack of depth?) but nothing that annoyed me. An album that's grown on me since it came out, side 1 definitely stronger than side 2 but I think the latter probably has potential with repeated listens.

      Really good pressing as others have said. Dead quiet. Recommend.

        Phenomenal sound. My copy is flawless, and is one of the better sounding records I own

            Not their best imho but I go with the evolution. Good pressing. Black pressings always win.

            Update: has massively grown on me. A few songs I skip but those I don’t are just awesome.

                Agree with others - this standard black pressing sounds great. Dynamic and dead quiet

                  Any comments on the pressing and sound quality? Would've thought only 37 minutes of music would suit the single LP format.
