  • sirpaulstarling44's avatar
    Must have been one of the lucky ones. My box had excellent quality with all three LPs playing great. No flaws and definitely not warped. The one negative thing I’ll say is that this isn’t the quietest vinyl I’ve ever heard, but it’s by no means bad. All around a great set.
    • theMot's avatar

      This pressing by United is rubbish. I went through 2 copies, both had major off center issues. Huge pitch variation, tone arm swinging wildly from side to side. I persevered and ended up getting the Euro version pressed by Optimal. Much better! Silent vinyl, center correct and it even sounds better.

        Slight dish warp on one record but not too big a problem. However major off centering issues on a few sides, the tonearm just swaying and swaying. Better QC would have been appreciated...
        Box is thick, very nice and all records sit neatly and can be taken out without opening the box.

          CDs definitely caused some warping on the vinyl. Such a poor quality control choice.

            Also contains 2-CD's. Same audio and track listing as LP box set
