    From my copy, side 1/2 is translucent red as shown, but side 3/4 is very definitely a sort of translucent splatter effect.

        Bought this from a UK seller that described the record as VG+ with “a few feint hairlines to vinyl.” Sadly the record is chalked full of constant clicks and pops.

          Bought a copy from a UK seller on eBay expecting that this 1st pressing on transluscent red vinyl would be the ultimate copy of this amazing LP. Oddly, sadly, it's pretty bland sounding to my ears, no real sharpness or presence, and even in EX condition after a thorough cleaning it's still noisy in the quiet sections. Very disappointing. Not worth the $$ IMO.

            Are "deep red" and "ruby red" the same thing? Ty!

              Can we assume this version does say `Made in England` on the disc labels - i.e.like mine?
