    I have a copy with one orange and one blue vinyl. Does anyone know if this could origin from packing at pressing plant?

      Picked up a copy of this recently and it sounds fine. While I'd say it's cut just slightly hot, it doesn't have the sizzling top end that people complain about with the US original versions or the bootleg black vinyl variants (2011 & 2013). It has a decent low end and the guitars ring out nicely. Cornell used a separate small PA for his vocals and this might explain a hint of hotness. The only limitation of this version is faint noise in the vinyl itself toward the end of the record. Otherwise it's a good listen.
