    When the record cut by Miles you know it will sound GREAT (even the picture disc)
    • FinalDamnation66's avatar
      Wow, I wouldn't have thought so!
      No cracks, pops or other disturbing surface noises!
      Super low & quiet, a great press tho. Fortunately no factory flaws and skips. I own a lot of picture discs, but this one stands out! 5*****

        A number of earlier UK/ European picture discs from this series run had redemption cards. Was one included with this issue?

          A nice shot from inbetween days video would have made a far better picture disc than the blurry smudges of the album art, i mean it is a re release and was a chance for something nice to be made , shame .

            Mine has loads of factory flaws and skips all over the place. Really sad, as the pressing itself is really good

              Disappointing choice of artwork for the b-side of this picture disc. The track listing? Seriously? Why not use the “The Head On The Door” title artwork that is printed on the inside of the sleeve? That would look much cooler (in my opinion). I’d rather watch that going round and round than a list of the songs which I can’t read anyway while the record plays.

                I’ve always been hesitant with buying picture discs but this one sounds amazing. I have an OG press in ok condition and this is just a bit quieter in of volume and not quite as punchy. Still a great press tho

                  mine has a factory flaw with the picture film wrinkling up and through the first track of side b. of course they are sold out all over except here and ebay for dumb $$$$ and this copy actually sounds impeccable except for that without any surface noise and very little over-compression from the remaster. fortunately the store does refunds but i am sad to miss this one after standing in line for more than twice the disc’s running time just to buy it.

                    Not sure if it just needs another release variation but my copy has a different barcode, seemingly different hype sticker, and made in Czech Republic, don’t have many picture discs but record is dead flat and no real noticeable surface noise, great packaging as well, great pick up for $25.99 don’t pay these exorbitant prices and just wait for any overstock

                      I own more than half a dozen og pressings and when I played this through I loved it. Really quiet, no factory flaws, is not mixed super low and quiet like pic discs often are. Nice extra detailing on the inside of the sleeve with the title logo. Would recommend.
