    Can someone help confirm if there is a matrix runout for this press? Thanks!

      Just realized my other copy in addition to the original was this one. It's the same slightly blurry outer sleeve as the EMI Electrospective reissue, but obviously unofficial. I guess it should suck - it doesn't. In fact it sounds considerably better than the original 1994 UK release I also own, and which is no slouch. Deeper bass, cleaner and sweeter highs, more dynamics.

        Surprisingly excellent audio quality. Presumably sourced from CD but it sounds great. Good stereo separation, nice heavyweight vinyl, and very convincing sleeve considering it's an unofficial release. Loose shrink wrap and lack of anything in the runout groove are the big giveaways here.
