    Had two copies of this pressing and I really didn't like it, lot's of surface noise, got the 2009 US version instead and it's really good.

        My copy sounds great, too: no issues whatsoever; very clean. In fact, I've been very satisfied with all my rough trade exclusives.

          Not sure what the fuss is about over here but my copy played clean. I also thought the die cut cover was a nice touch. Came well packaged and shipped, despite my order getting lost the first time around so kudos to Rough Trade for that.

                There's a ton of surface noise on side A, really disappointed with rough trade

                  Anyone played theirs yet? Mine keeps skipping at like 5 places on side 1.
