    Good pressing of this 1978 Eno classic.
    Side A and B sound even better than the 2005 CD reissue, some surface noise but that doesn't bother me, unfortunately there's some heavy crackling for the first half of Side C. Side D has no crackling and little to no surface noise.

      On my copy, LP1 had some surface noise, and towards the end of both sides there was an obvious repetitive broad white-noise sound that played with each rotation (maybe ~2-3 minutes). Overall not terribly unpleasant albeit noticeable. LP2 sounds flawless. Pristine actually.

        I have a feeling they just repressed this, as I bought it from the "New Releases" section at Newbury Comics the other day, and it sounds pretty close to perfect.

          I don't understand why an album that's 41 minutes long needs 2 x vinyl.

            Have gone through 3 copies now, all had non-fill. I did receive 2 copies where the first disc did not have non-fill, but were pressed off-center and clicked through significant ages with each rotation.

            The mastering is phenomenal. It is a real shame that the pressings are flubs. I would wholly recommend this version if they could press a record properly.
