Despite flimsy packaging, the sound on this pressing is wonderful!
Sleeve 6/10 Vinyl 10/10 -
My copy on side B has some seemingly odd vocal effects on "Better Things / Eurochild / Sly" that aren't present on the CD. Specifically, somewhat of a reverberating effect in the vocals, for lack of better description; the instrumental portions sound fine. Going to have this one ultrasonic cleaned and see what happens.

Don't be fooled by the fuzzy printing on the cover. This is a very solid pressing. High quality vinyl, as usual from Record Industry. It also uses the same plates as the original 1994 pressing. Not sure how it compares to the more recent reissue, maybe someone else can chime in. -

How is the quality of this copy, I read some disapointing reviews about the other pressings..
