    VMP just released a translucent red version of this album with the same runouts as this version and limited to 1000 copies. If quality control isn’t an issue I’d go with this version, especially because you get a booklet. VMP does not have the booklet, but does play beautifully.

      Can vouch for the slight warp and oversized hole. Warped records are fairly routine these days given poor quality control, but the hole issue is unusual. It’s normally too tight for the spindle.

        AND it has a skip at B2 :( what a bummer

          Sounds fantastic but is embarrassingly warped for a new record... Optimal Media GmbH must embrace a new era of pride and self-standards for its team. Put some love into your craft!

            My copy sounds great! I got one that came without the booklet/inserts as well though. Let me know if you’re willing to sell yours!!!

              Tried two copies of this and about to try a third before giving up. Both hard warping problems due to the edge of the record getting "stuck" in the left part of the gatefold. One copy had an oversized spindle hole and was pressed way-off center, no matter how I tried to align the record before clamping it down.

              The frustrating part is that these Broadcast records are mastered well, but you are at mercy of Optimal's shoddy QC/QA practices for the pressing quality. I really wish the plant would straighten things out, because they can make great records when they want. Sadly they've fallen hard in the quality department and I typically have to try 3 copies to get one I can live with.

              If any band or label is reading this, just bear in mind Optimal may be ruining your reputation with customers.

                One of the most gorgeous sounding records in my collection, and includes the booklet.

                  Really nice reissue, but no booklet with mine either :(

                    mine didn't come with the booklet - everything else matches this version (barcode, stickers, runout etchings, etc)

                      Just a question... the "liner notes" are some kind of joke?
