    Mam to wydanie z Label opisanym "45" RPM" mocno się zdziwiłem jak się okazało, że to 33 1/3 RPM, nie ma trzasków gra bardzo dobrze. Dziwne kupione w lipcu 2024 r. (7 lat było na magazynie)

      There's pops and clicks pretty much throughout the a side, so it needs to be cleaned. Other than that the music sounds great. My favourite Portishead record.

        Love this pressing. Sounds gorgeous, with just a couple pops and clicks. Side one was a little off-center, and my disc 2 is a little warped, but nothing that's audible. Very pleased overall. P.S. My copy is labelled correctly as 33 1/3rd RPM, so not sure if they've repressed this recently.

          great pressing, had pops on first track of side 3, went away on second listening, all sides labeled correctly

            Got one of the new represses of this album and noticed it said Abbey Road Room 30 on the runout so wondering if the old pressings of this album are the same?

              Way way WAY cleaner than that absolutely horrible 45 press

                Sounds good. But somehow a bit shrill... But thats the production and not the pressing. So go for this one...

                  The sound quality is dynamic, no surface noise, and dead flat vinyl. Shame they can't get the labels right - my side 3 has a side 1 label on it!

                    This is my second version of this album but first version of this pressing. The original copy was the 45 version and sounded terrible - all scratches and pops. This pressing is clear and smooth, very little surface noise and it plays at 33

                      No issues with my copy. Excellent pressing IMO. Highly recommended!
