      Mine sounds great! One pop on the last song, but can’t really complain.

        Fantastic reissue! The mastering has that audiophile quality to it that makes everything sound clear and detailed. The music spreads throughout the air beautifully. 4 stars because there are some crackles here and there but not enough not to recommend this reissue.

          Fantastic pressing. Can’t speak to the quality of the reissues, but judging on reviews it seems they’re of similar quality and obviously easier on the wallet as well. Cut pretty hot with very forward vocals, but dead quiet vinyl if you find a clean copy. Recommended for sure

            Played flawlessly, perfect sound for a damn near perfect record.

              This was pressed at GZ. Print quality is fantastic, matte inside out sleeve is beautiful and thick, they definitely improved there. Soundwise it's fine but especially on the last track on Feist's vocals there is too much hiss on her sibilants. Too bad they didn't do a proper cut for this.

                The actual tracklist on my copy is differente from the tracklist printed on the labels and the backcover. Anybody else got a copy like this?

                  I'm really pleased with this one. I was trying to do things around the house while listening but I kept wandering back to sit in the stereo image and soak it up. Yes there is some heavy distortion right at the end of Love Is No Big Truth but considering it's a 22 minute side, I'm not going to complain too much. Thankfully Feist was spared the same treatment at the end of side B.

                  I'd love to know if anyone was able to get rid of the inner groove distortion by altering their tonearm/cartridge setup, or whether it's a waste of time and is a mastering issue.

                  Overall really glad to have this, even if I paid a bit too much. That's vinyl in 2022!

                    With download code. My version sounds very good. Great album.

                      Came with two scratches, which almost doesn't affect the sound. The sound is very good throughout both sides, even the last tracks of each.

                        I have been waiting for the chance to buy this album for a long time and I must say that the quality of this print (via Amazon) is not bad at all. The vinyl is very quiet and the audio quality does not differ much from the CD in my possession even if not at the same level. I confirm that there is a distortion problem at the end of the last track on side A, but it would seem a printing defect. For the rest I can only recommend the purchase.
