    This pressing sucks. I have 2 of them, who look EX, but both sounds VG. Noise between songs and in quiet parts.

      Iirc, thrift store buy, but after a spin clean, practically spotless. Yet, this copy is exceptionally unimpressive sonically. Not the best Eurymics album, IMO, but good stuff (just not on par with their synth stuff).
      But the recording is airy and thin.
