    My copy sounds absolutely fine and i also have the VMP so perhaps the reviews on this pressing are a little unfair. New vinyl can be a bit hit and miss due to poor quality control and shi**y paper sleeves. Back in the eighties and before, most inner sleeves although made of paper were smooth inside or poly lined so didn’t leave residue or scratch the record

      Can't speak for any of the other pressings of this album, but the pressing sounds pretty poor to me. Sucks all the excitement out of it.

        How is the pressing of this release? Been eyeing a copy at my local record store.

          I have a copy of this with a misprinted side C which includes 2 Playaz Circle songs instead of 20 Dollar, World Town, and The Turn. The two Playaz Circle songs are U Can Believe it Featuring Ludacris and Paint still wet. Anyone else have this? Edit the misprint version has been added to Discogs: https://discogs.futbolgratis.org/MIA-Kala/release/14648901
