      I've owned two copies of this UK pressing and both have had lots of slicks and pops (even after cleaning). Other countries' pressings are quieter (e.g. Portugal) and sound identical.

        Good sounding pressing despite the groove-cramming going on (25 min. each side). Seems to have been a common practice in the period when albums were getting longer due to the increased amount of space on CD's, but labels were still doing a limited amount of vinyl pressing. Nowadays it seems that LP's seldom go beyond 22 or 23 minutes on a side.
