    His best album is Bitter and High which blows this out of the water but it's impossible to get

        Worth every penny. Amazing sounding record, very dynamic. Can't compare to the original, but it probably stands as one of the best sounding records in my 650+ collection. Keep coming back to this one when testing speaker setup and new equipment.

          Great sounding record. I have no complaints, just so chuffed to finally have this awesome album on vinyl.

            Like others, I don’t have the original to compare, but this sounds amazing to my ears. Flat records, and crisp, clear, dynamic sound. Happy to finally have it for a fair price. About the inner sleeves: yeah, they’re cheap paper ones. It’s pretty standard these days. Replace, and clean the vinyl. No problem.

              The last track 'Everybody loves the sunshine remix' is misprinted in the record label. Is printed as 'sometime somewhere, somehow'

                good pressing but flimsy sleeve and cheap paper inners, comes with marks, fingerprints and dirt out of the sealed package....they could at least use lined inners and get the records in there without using their blank fingers for that price....

                  Good pressing! No issues on mine.

                  Check your local record store - was able to grab a copy at mine (US) for $30 and dodged high shipping costs on bandcamp

                    Holy shit this sold out fast on Bandcamp! Hopefully some copies cross the pond soon for a reasonable price.

                      oh my gosh, finally. and arrived safe&sound despite cheap packaging. pressing sounds fine in my opinion but can‘t compare with the original issue. happy though!
