My copy (EU) is flawless. Sounds phenomenal right out of the sealed packaging. Surreal and enveloping sound.

Finally a definitive version of Pompeii in all its glory! It’s the EU pressing btw with obi strip and it sounds fantastic!

probably best sounding LP I own.. (EU release) very happy with my copy

There is plenty of room for improvement here on the 2cd.

First, the sleeve could be a little wider to allow easier extraction of the cds - should not have to fight to get them out.
Why oh why, could they not have included the original mix - it would have made much more sense.
I detect at least 4 edits here of material/sounds being unnecessarily removed. IF you are going to offer a remix, then at least ADD something, don't take away from it.

This really could have been so much better.

The problems I've heard about sound quality have nothing to do with the record needing cleaning. It appears to be another record cut to a less than stellar lacquer. There has been a lacquer shortage as of late and I can see baked in marks from this dried out disc. I would hope that collectors would have some amount of knowhow by now considering many people have been doing this for decades and have surely found lathe cut discs before and can tell when they are cracking. Another hobby being brought down by sheer ignorance and unwillingness to learn. Our modern world in a nut shell.

I think I was one of the lucky few as my copy played perfectly from the start without the need of thorough cleansing. It was an otherworldly experience throughout. Perfect sound and quality.

im sorry but this record might be awesome to have... but how echoes isn't in on one side is kind of a lost step to me... i mean its possible as it been done in the bootleg before but here we are again

Damn. What a shame that this sounds like shit. Words.

Cleaning a record should be normal practice by everyone in the hobby. Folks think they can drop a needle on a record these days fresh outta the shrink. Times have changed and you must thoroughly clean them first before you critique.

My copy ist great
Wonderful to listen to
