I actually have to say that my copies pressing is not the best..Noise in part of some of the tracks..I actually went out and bought the OG..Maybe not all copies are like this but mine definitely is unfortunately..

Jeromy - pressing/sound quality really good. Really reccommed the purchase, believe me I 've searched high & low for this record previously. I agree with BIRDMAN3 really not fussed about no shrinkwrap, though I can't really remeber the last online purchase that did have shrinkwrap! Being lazy I've not seen what other re-issues this label are gonna do but if this is the kinda thing they'll be doing then definately one to watch out for IMO.

A very welcome repress. Can anyone comment on the pressing & sound quality?

Cheers.
