Was lucky enough to pick this up from Disk Union Osaka on my most recent trip to Japan. This pressing is amazing. All of the problems in my life evaporate when I put this on. Do yourself a favor and buy if you get a chance.

Believe the hype, this pressing is special. DEAD quiet vinyl, much better than my US OG. -
Sensational pressing and package. Dead quiet, punchy, dynamic, instrumentation separation all on point. The insert with the Japanese and English lyrics and Japanese interview + band photos is sublime. Very lucky I scored a minty copy in a shop a few months back. My 1984 US pressing sounds great, but this one is clearly superior. -
Incredible pressing, particularly compared to the newer reissue. Dead quiet, great spacing between instruments, and Morrissey sounds like he’s in the room. The reissue by comparison sounds a little bloated and unfocused.
