    My pressing sounds excellent. Night and day compared to digital formats. Amazing live-sounding mastering and sounstage.

      My copy has some background noise on Side C and D; both the same, but Side D is less noticeable. It's a dull wave-type of sound, like the vinyl itself has different densities as it rotates. Once the music starts, it's not prevalent, but it's there in between tracks. Not bad enough to warrant a new copy, but it's present. Otherwise, it sounds good; Sides A and B are perfect.

        Phenomenal pressing. One of the best sounding records in my collection

          Sounds absolutely phenomenal. These 45RPM XL reissues are so great. My Amnesiac sounds equally incredible. Zero surface noise. I see that complaint all the time. It baffles me a little. Do people clean their records before playing? First thing I do with all new records is to give them a quick bath in a Spin Clean. There’s always factory residue in the grooves. I very rarely have any issues.

              Flat, quiet, perfect holes.
              Highly recommend even though I hate 45s.

                Read all the comments below and made such a mistake buying this.
                Crooked and lots of surface noise, sad ...
                Maybe on CROLSEY it sounds good, but not on 4000$+ audiosystem...
                Meh, also could be unlucky with pressing, idk
                • william.stemarie's avatar
                  Sounds fantastic! Very crisp, clear, and full. I wish my OK Computer Vinyl sounded this good. Keep in mind that it is a 45. That surprised me.

                    Wickedly mastered 45rpm LPs & a top-notch pressing, as the vinyl is dead-silent. Incredible clarity, with huge stereo sound. A steal for $30.

                      Stunning pressing! One of the most quiet, clean and dynamic records I own. Must have.
