    Just listed Variant 5 (bought from Amazon past month) - no sticker or code, anyone else ?

      Bought my copy of this six years ago. I have no problem with it, but I am using quite high-end stylus and other equipment. An OG sounds better, but if you can't find a NM copy in a thrift store, I'd go for this one. It is also nice to have the original studio recording of Green Manalishi, which is not on the OG European Killing Machine record.

      If you have problems with it, my advise is to try and clean it with distilled water and isopropanol + water agent (Ilford Ilfotol). The latter ingredient takes care of the static. Your copy, if bought today brand new, could be static. After cleaning, put it in a anti-static polythene inner, e.g. Mofi variant or similar. I've made many records playable by just doing this practise. Records that I thought were damaged.

        -Sounds just like the defenders of the faith reissue.
        -muffled and distorted.

          I just got this today and after one listen I am very disappointed. The lead off track Delivering The Goods sounds good but not great. The rest of the album fluctuates in volume and sounds very muddy. This is a classic Priest record that I love. I’m honestly not sure if I got a bad pressing or if the mfg simply did a poor job. Either way my copy does not do the album justice.

            Sounds great overall but with some inner groove distortion on both sides.

              Sounds perfect. What more is there to say? I dont have an OG on hand to compare to, and it wouldn't be fair to compare to digital version (2012 Audio Fidelity remaster ftw), but sitting down, knowing this album, everything sounded clean, clear, and dynamic

                I think this pressing is heavy on bass, a little less bass should have sound better

                  Anybody have info on this pressing?
                  It's only $19 in the store. Thanks
