    Wow… just picked up a NM copy in a lot with 100 random records. Was very excited to listen after looking at these reviews. This absolutely sounds amazing. Vocals are perfectly crisp and forward and the bass is great - super cool

      Picked up a VG+ copy without knowing anything about this pressing. Really great pressing and mastering! A pleasant surprise.

        Anyone else have "offensive" sticker, gold promo on back, normal retail labels, but no custom inner sleeves? My inners are just plain, but definitely have age to them, they don't look like replacements.

          I have variant 4 and it sounds incredible. Very dynamic and articulate. The mastering was, well, masterful. Every instrument sounds well represented. On an album where I don’t need to even think about skipping to the next song, it is easily one of my favorite records in my collection

            This pressing sounds absolutely incredible to me. Everything is mixed so well and each instrument really stands out. A total pleasure to listen to. This is a holy grail for me too. One of the greatest rock albums of all time. Incredible version here though. Just amazing.

              Long shot, but if anyone has a trashed LP sitting around.. I'm missing the printed innersleeve for side A/B.

                Some albums also include an insert advertising the Nu-Disks 10" records as "NU-DISKS WHAT A CHEAP WAY TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!" - 4 of them are pictured on this glossy sheet.
