Edited 26 days agoI purchased item few weeks ago, after many listenings i have to mention two things. First is that record is not bad, ok an Unofficial Release, but it sounds fine with nice bass. Second is that surface noise depends on needle weight, so if setting more heavy (about 3,5gr) noise is fully reduced. -

Picked this up yesterday then read the reviews afterwards and was a bit concerned about the record. Played it today and both sides play fine without any audible noise or distortion so quite relieved about that.
The music does beg you to crank up the volume a few notches, sounds good when you do -
Edited one year agoThis is probably the worst mint record I have ever bought. Side 2/first 2 songs have surface noise and the whole record gives me no better sense than listening the digital version, even though I was excited. It is an unofficial release, yes but this was quite under expectations. Sad.
edit: changed it -
I have a blue version of what must be this pressing because it's riddled with Roadrunner labels.
Not great quality at all. Shame because usually the bootlegs I pick up from whoever's putting these out are decent or even pretty good.
You're better off getting a cheap official black copy from basically any storefront. -
Small centre hole which makes removing the record hard. Side 1 sounds fine, side 2 has surface noise on first two songs, rest is fine. Overall not a good press. -
Edited 4 years agoIndeed not the best pressing. Very sharp. The dynamics ain't good. And it has a lot of surface noise also. -
