    Warped. Two labels placed on side 1. The label placed on top of the one underneath is completely off centered. Are they kidding me? This is their best album. It's better than Pink Flag

      Yep labels wrong way round but a nice clean sound with no warping at all.
      A classic album from a group that deserve all the attention they now rightly receive.

        Pretty good pressing. Not far off the OG for soundstage.

          Perfectly flat, silent surface. Great presentation. Punches way above its price point. I see there's quality issues with this one, so send back and try again if you can. I was lucky first time and it's a beautiful listen.

            Such a clean and nice remaster. Vinyl is dead silent. Sound stage is pretty centered but I suspect that is how it was intended. Otherwise, clean and detailed mix for this style of record. Great album.

              Classic, a hidden gem we didnt have cd when this was released so it should be listened to on vinyl, my version sounds excellent

                My copy has the side one labels on both sides, is this common?

                  Great pressing. There was some crackle between songs but that all but disappeared after a good cleaning. Lots of dynamics and the more subtle sounds come through perfectly balanced in the mix. This is a good replacement for my retired original first pressing.

                    how does this press compare with the men with beards version??

                      My copy of this pressing sounds great, no warp and very little surface noise. The label reads Side Two instead of reading Side One and vice versa. Going to keep it and treat it as a quirk.
