    This is really good, I would suggest it if you want a brand new copy

      Haven’t heard an original, but this is a great pressing, nice and flat and 180g heavy. It has good dynamics for a digital copy (as per sticker, digital from analog tape copy). If you find it get it.

        Any comments on this pressing compared to the OP? Would it be better to buy a first pressing VG+/NM instead of this one?

          I bought 3 copies of this from 3 different retailers and all are warped noticeably. Sent 2 back and kept the third one as it was less warped than the others. The SQ is very good,a fair amount of crackle initially which improved after a good cleaning. The sleeve and artwork are of good quality. Runouts have the MPO logo and a 2019 pressing date.
