In runouts variant 1 '0060 25 478 20 754' is laser(?)-etched, 'B0024720-01-A G·I RM' is etched, '16699 1A' is stamped.
Runouts variant 2 don't show '0060 25 478 20 754' at all, it could be that this faint etching had wiped out along the stampers generation.

    I've seen plenty of bad reviews on these Def Jam anniversary releases. But this one sounds good and clear enough to me. I guess it being just about 45 minutes of music it does sound good in one LP. Some of the other Def Jam reissues were 50+ minutes of music squeezed into one LP, so yeah I could imagine some drop off in quality.
    I agree with others about the printed sleeves, I see I am gonna have to buy another sleeve for long term usage.

      Vinyl sounds great, sleeve looks like it was printed on an old xerox machine.. Terrible! But that said, it’s the music that counts, right?

          my copy has a "made in poland" on rear shrink. runout is variant 4.
          and i can confirm sounds like small and cheap bluetooth speaker, not like hi-fi.
          terrible...

            Excellent pressing - though it needs a really solid ultrasonic clean before playback. Remastering is solid, and artwork looks great. Can’t agree with other comments that the original sounds better - this is a really tired argument, that gets thrown around like rice at a wedding. Yes, some original pressings can’t be sured, but a remaster by a great engineer, from a reliable source, and pressed at a reputable pressing plant, will almost always deliver better results.

              This sounds phenomenal. Great dynamics and great bass. My only complaint is the terrible inner sleeve because it put a few surface marks on side 2. Luckily it is inaudible. Other than that it is awesome.

                Mine has a 'Made in ' sticker on rear shrink. Unbelievable value for money pressing. Sounds absolutely immaculate. Silent surface on flat, well centred disc. Plenty of tight and punchy low end and no sibilance with a smooth mid range. Vocal detail (and the rough technique) shines on this. Don't even hesitate. A great player.

                    I agree with the previous two comments. My copy sounds absolutely fantastic.

                      This is a quality pressing. It sounds great on my Fluance RT-82.
