    Not the biggest fan of Costello. My wife’s record. But I will comment on the pressing it’s pretty good. It’s a longer record and the inner groove held together. Recommended on a technical level.

      Bought my copy used. Sounds incredibly good. Very clean. Good dynamic range.

        This pressing sounds very good. Pleasing full sound, crisp, and vinyl is quiet. One of my favorite EC albums.

          This is as close as I can find to my copy. Only difference is side 2 etched with PBL-35709-1G. Side 1 has -1D and 1T.

            I have this Terre Haute pressing with the promo EP. Is this a different release? Also, runout on Side 1 matches, but on Side 2, the stamped"P AL" has been crossed-out and "PBL" etched, and it looks the original attempt was to only scratch out the "A" but then the entire "P AL" was scratched out.
