Later first pressing (-1AM/-2Y) with thick paper inner sleeve, small song titles on back cover and a hype sticker on shrink

Note song titles on cover, large or small, are indicative of the jacket's manufacturer, not early vs. later pressing. There are examples of early and later for both types of print.

First stampers for this record are -1A/ -2A. This alone should determine pressing time frame.

    Sibilance abounds. This isn’t terrible but not the most desirable pressing. I was hoping for dynamic detail. Seems compressed and not much midrange. If you’re looking for a bright version of this album, it won’t be this particular pressing. If you have this, hang onto it, but look for a different pressing.
