Don't know about you, but my copy sounds like shit. All the higher notes are distorted. Not sure if it's a pressing issue or they tried to squeeze too much music on there. 25min on each side. Maybe a 2LP would be more fitting ?

Everything in my copy is the same, except for the text on the runout.
Mine says:
(Side A): AFF 6 - A3
(Side B): AFF 6 - B3
