Does this copy sound any better than the 2018 reissue? I know vinyl records from the 90's can be super hit or miss.

A personal note: I am truly and utterly disgusted by collectors' price standards these days for anything secondhand that is "out of print". Ten years ago, I am sure "The Red Shoes" LP would have cost an acceptable 25 EUR a piece, and that is still a reasonable price for a second hand record to purchase. In the past I did afford myself a pricy record on occasion, but I am not keeping them framed on the wall while bullshitting about, saying "vinyl forever" while clicking the YouTube video instead... I actually enjoy listening to a vinyl record I buy, no matter how delicately rare these may seem, especially when it comes to potential damage...

Yes, I am taking good care of my collection and find the rarity aspect fascinating just like many people do - however, this collectors' craze per se just spiralled out of control on all levels. Today nothing is sacred and records quickly go skyrocket for sheer profit (yes, I am that naive an idealist expecting it otherwise), no solidarity among people willing to sell something at a decent price. Expecting instant fortune for an LP that was once a standard regular release (and pretty much constantly available via secondhand) is sometimes beyond mental. Sure there are even crazier examples regarding prices out here, but the hype is truly terrorising and downright degrading - the message being "take it or leave it". I say, fuck it.
