    Wasn't happy with the quality/consistency on UK release (Anthrax - Among The Living).

    Tested listening with grado open back headphones (which are quite bright), once cranked it sounds pretty good and slightly better than release (Anthrax - Among The Living), the highs seem slightly boosted but without any loss of bass, bass sounds good actually, but I need to record them both and compare on some software for a better test. Doesn't escape the issue with inner groove distortion, but it does seem to be not as bad as the UK release in this regard.

    However I think the original recording might be the issue with distortion /quality (not that its terrible by any means, just wish it was a bit clearer all round). I may try a US copy in the future, though that doesn't seem free of problems!

    Additionally the sleeve on this Japanese edition is made of slightly firmer cardboard and gives it a more robust feel than the UK sleeve.

    The two inserts are great!

    Very happy with this for now,

      Is anyone else's copy of this translucent? Similar to this release, see the last image: https://discogs.cinepelis.org/Death-Scream-Bloody-Gore/release/466737

        Can attest for the review below, this sounds great and the packaging is super nice. Not sure if it sounds better than the US release as I do not have a copy yet, but this does sound really good on my end.
