    What a fantastic album. This OG pressing has such a great depth and is so warm. I love that this OG pressing has b-side remixes and the red translucent is beautiful! Highly recommend this pressing if you can find it. The foldout and booklet are nice additions.

      My copy is definitely from 2004 and has an obnoxious amount of surface noise of the 1st record. So disappointing, but it's been like that since day 1 despite multiple cleanings. Anyone else's copies have this problem? The current pressing has very good reviews, might buy another copy.

        How can I spot if it's a 2007 release? I can't see a real difference between this version and the one from 2004.
