I decided to have another go and picked up a copy while discounted on Amazon. I was pleased to discover that they are now packaging the folded poster outside of the inner sleeve, which was the cause of all my previous copies being scratched to high heaven. My latest copy has a small mark on A6 which causes some playback noise, but that is the bonus track so I'm not too fussed. It's otherwise near perfect and a nice clean pressing.

A few pops here and there, but overall a good pressing.
As mentioned by Cardiff_Giant, skipping may come from your stylus - don't neglect the counterweight on your turntable ! And if you don't have a counterweight well... it may be time to upgrade :) -
Overall a good release - some pops and slight skipping on B-side track 1: Fantasy, but all other tracks play perfectly and sound spot on. -
I'm surprised by this release. It sounds great, no pops or clicks and also no distortion whatsoever.
