    I bought a copy on a very famous web store.
    Same barcode etc. But no RSD sticker and made in the Czech Republic.
    A bootleg ? A reissue ?
    Anyway, I returned it .

      It’s a shame that it doesn’t include the full length hard to find/mostly mislabeled/cut at the wrong speed Sex Mix but still great to have this. We definitely need Altered Reels 2. Some of the Welcome To The Pleasuredome mixes are amazing.

        Hopefully we will get a 'Altered Reels 2' with The Power of Love & Welcome to the Pleasuredome on each side? I would LOVE that :P I got the original tapes for all 4 to ;)

          What a rare treat to get a perfectly flat record.
          Sound is as good as could be expected, not quite sonically the incredible experience that the original album/mix gave us. It's overall a bit thin and trebly. You'll need to adjust the EQ with this one.

            The original photo used for the front of this sleeve had Brian holding a toy gun in his left hand that he is resting on his knee. This has been airbrushed out for the sleeve of this release. With plenty of colour on this picture used for the sleeve, I feel it did not need the adding of the 'Frankie Man' symbol in the centre. Who is the young boy in the picture? Is it the same young lad pictured with Paul on the picture Disc of Two Tribes from 1984? I do like the picture used but to me it's more of a Pleasuredome related picture than Relax or Two Tribes. UMC now own the back catalogue of Frankie so that is probably why there is no mention of ZTT on this release. Frankie Say.........Give us more reissues like this!

              Fantastic pressing on super thick vinyl. Very little noise, pops or clicks using an SL1200 and an Ortofon cartridge. The sound quality is far superior to the original cassette releases. Great package overall and a must for any FGTH fan.

                  Anybody else's copy full of scratches and pops? I can see little marks all over the first side like somebody used an etching tool in various places. No part of the audio escapes it. Side B seems to be fine. The whole LP was covered in vinyl dust, too, and required a good wet cleaning.

                    This is fun! Especially Side Two. The record sounds great, given that you clean it immediately after you pull it out from the paper sleeve before you play it.

                      Such a brilliant set of mixes, perfectly curated and beautifully packaged. A3 and B3 are phenomenal.
