    I was so sure this album was going to sound amazing on vinyl, but similar to other reviews my copy suffers an incredible amount of noise. Side C is completely unlistenable - the left channel is almost completely lost to hiss.

    I've just received a copy of the 2023 repress, so I'm cautiously optimistic, and I'll post a review there when I've had a chance to listen. I've only been waiting 20 years!

      Bought sealed. Really noisy pressing. There were some parts that are decent but other parts are practically unlistenable. Side C is the worst. Disappointing with how beautiful that particular track is.

      Let me know if anyone has a better copy to sell, I would love to hear this album in better condition.

        I have a copy, it's full of pops and crackling... looks like a clean record and I even washed and used the anti-static gun on it.... shame. :(

          My copy sounds very good. However, the poor quality of inner sleeves included with this release illustrate the importance of cleaning your records and placing them in MoFi-type sleeves.

            Another bad pressing here. She’s been crackling since day 1.

              I get a hissing noise in places. I was wondering if the previous owner had spilled something on it.

                Really noisy pressing, even after washing it. Serious bummer.

                  My pressing is decent enough. All Of A Sudden seems to be a really bad pressing. This one is for the most part pretty good. There are a few spots that seem a bit noisy, I am hoping it's just static/dust. Playing the last bit of it now.
                  I do love this record and I am glad it doesn't suffer from the horrible quality that All Of A Sudden does.

                      My copy of this sounds fantastic. No issues at all.
