Dead Or Alive – Youthquake

Anyone else have an original US pressing with the side 2 label blurry/double stamped? Just noticed mine was and was interested to know how common.

Recently acquired this pressing and if you dont have the 2018 reissue or the 2016 reissue then i would recommend this one. The bass is good, the sound quality is pretty decent and the pressing is flat without any pops or clicks. The artwork on the other hand is just a photo copy with some overdone contrast.

Great sounding pressing. Some pops here and there, but the overall quality of the music comes through fantastically.

Comparing this CD to the one included in the "Sophisticated Boom Box" set - the main album tracks have L/R channels reversed. I think the "Sophisticated Boom Box" version is correct?

This could be a Cult record, or not. Ian ..

Are we 100% sure that this version is a gatefold? Because the 3rd and 4th pictures can be the pictures of the inner sleeve despite of the gatefold. Thanks

Another great quality MOV reissue. Not sure how it compares to purple version.

Pressing sounds amazing. No complaints, in fact I prefer this to the CD playback. Lovely.

The only advantage here over the original UK vinyl release is that it's on new 180g vinyl so it's quiet.
This is a reissue, not a remaster. Sonic quality and character is identical to original UK release.
The cover is cheap glossy photocopy or print out, it looks nasty compared to the commercial print quality of the original cover.
Instead of the original gatefold you get a pathetic looking single sheet insert which looks like the cheapest option.
After seeing the cheap and nasty cover of the MOV editions I immediately bought copies of the original UK vinyls.

The package is completely let down here by the cover and insert which look like cheap glossy print outs.
Instead of the original gatefold design you get the inside gatefold photos on a pathetic looking single sheet insert. it's terrible.
After opening this & seeing the bloody awful cover I bought copies of the original UK vinyls! It's that disappointing.
