      Just received my copy, made sure it was this version, based on these reviews. And it did not disappoint:
      Absolutely amazing pressing, Audiophile level: I have Analogue Pressing LPs that don’t sound nearly as good as this.

      Just run to it with your eyes closed, but do make sure you wash it before spinning.

        I bought my copy somewhere in 2017 and still spinning occasionally. Very nice pressing, no skips, no pops!

          1st of all - THE SOUND IS EXTREMELY AMAZING. Drums and low sound goes so sweet and nice.

          But my exact copy got two big needle jumps at the beginning of 1st track on A side. Anyone else got the same?

            No problems with my copy. The drums, bass and vocals were are nice and clear. Nice to hear better dynamics in the guitars as well.

              Got a copy of this today and was a bit worried with some of the reviews here. Playing on my sl-1210mk2 and it sounds fantastic to me. Drums and bass are great and the overall pressing is top quality in my opinion. Very happy :)
