    Unfortunately have noticed IGD and surface noise in the quieter parts.

      The beats are just so full of energy on these early Public Enemy albums, despite being politically driven the music makes me want to get up and dance...
      I usually don't comment on sound quality as I don't feel I have a super sharp ear when it comes to small differences in sound quality but I did find this a bit on the quiet side tbh...still playable though!

        It sounds good to me. Ive had some issues in the past with low volume levels on some of the B2B series pressings where you had to turn volume up to the point you could hear the grooves this one is fine though .
        Doesnt say where the source media is from, so I will assume its digital recording, i will need to test this out on my vintage player at home, have only currently tried on AT LP-120.

          How does it sound? Is it a good or bad pressing ?
