    I’ve lucked out? Never had an issue with warp pressings and this is no different. Absolutely stunning. Last track might be by design but is not as clear as the rest of the record. Record one is the strongest of the two musically. But overall a fantastic release that goes out to challenge society and its lack of action against corporate control and the digital assimilation. Bravo.

      Returned this to my record store yesterday due to some awful distortion on side B from non-fills. The guy working there told me this was the 2nd copy that's been returned thanks to the same issue, so I guess there are some defective copies out there. Think I will wait for a repress.

        My copy, received today from Piccadilly Records in Manchester is perfect: no pops or clicks, no surface noise. An excellent pressing in fact; I think the previous two reviewers must have been unlucky.

          Unfortunately, I have to return my copy of this version. I cleaned the record with my Pro-Ject VC e2 before listening to it for the first time. The first record has an incredible amount of surface noise and clicks. The second side has a grinding noise in the last half of the playing time. The second disc is better, but there are some loud clicks. Absolutely disappointing for a pressing from Optimal Media. I've only heard such rubbish on GZ Media pressings. I've ordered another copy of this edition. Wish me luck. My copy of the Deluxe Edition is still at customs. I hope that this pressing will be flawless.

            Copy I received on release day has surface noise, and crackles on the first disc, both side 1and 2, on multiple tracks, and really only in the right chanel. Unfortunate, as 2nd disc is free from noise.
