    yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss the sibilance ruins this pressing i think the latest re-issue from 2020 EU blows this away!!! i own this and the 2007 rhino re-issue also both beat the hell out of this pressing

      Confirmed the SRC(SR etched runout) US pressings appear to have severely bad sibilance and should be avoided at all costs

        Why are autographed sales even allowed in the sales stats? It just throws off the real value of regular ol records and leaves it open to price gouging, when people look at an overall average, when pricing to sell. Also... This is Depeche Mode, not the Beatles. No offense, I'm a fan, but would someone really pay 2 G's for that?

          Who the hell paid $2000 for this? Was it signed by Jesus?

                Pretty sure this is the version I have, but it has a big shiny label saying "lent for promotional use only. Etc" the runouts are also different.

                  Pressings like this made moving to CDs seem especially attractive at the time.

                    Such great music. This must be a bad pressing, though. The "Ss" are harsh, and it spoils the whole album. Pity.

                      All the S's sound like shit... It's especially bad in "Something To Do"
