    First: Beware! Since about 2019 there is a counterfeit pressing on heavyweight vinyl (180g-200g) which imitates this German RTD 28 release. I think it also can be identified that the matrix is missing in the runout.

    Second: releases The Smiths are fine though.

      This pressing sounds awfully flat, without detail. Disappointing that this is possible.
