    I have it on red vinyl, it is so weak and it sounds like it was recorded underwater. Even with treble maxed it is still garbage! Comparing the sound to my original Europe copy is unbelievable! The cover is way less vibrant in color. I think the best sounding and cheapest way to buy is to find a Brazil copy for around 100 bucks. Steer clear of this bootleg.

      For a bootleg copy it sounds fantastic.
      Like the other reviews said, you do have to turn it up a little bit, minus that it's dynamic with a wide soundstage.
      Whatever source they used to make this it's great. Mine doesn't have much surface noise, though with bootlegs it can be hit or miss.
      Now whenever Columbia gets off their butts and does a reissue of this I'll buy it in a heartbeat if it is pressed right.
      The prices for the official releases are crazy so I recommend getting this.
      EDIT: Forget about the bootlegs It's finally going to be officially reissued as a box set and also a stand alone 2LP LP set

        Picked this up today in Austin. It’s definitely a bit quiet, but sounds good once you turn it up. It doesn’t distort once it’s loud either. It was $20, so until they get off their ass and repress the original, this will do.

          Ok here is my full review of this unofficial Facelift LP.
          I just received and listened to the black version.
          Jacket is on the flimsy side but I have seem thinner. Printing is actually pretty good and clear not pixelated but probably could look slightly better.
          Includes s nice lyric insert.

          The LP has nice labels and mine was very flat.
          Now for the audio. It sounds good. Wide soundstage and great bass. I had to turn the volume up
          More than normal though.
          It sounds good but between tracks it was a bit noisy. I have reached the conclusion that this was probably pressed from a good copy of the original Brazilian press.

          Overall it is very good for a bootleg and price is right.
          On that note I will buy an official repress in a heartbeat if it ever comes out.

          I recommend if you don't want to blow a fortune on an original.

          This sounds good maybe really good with some drawbacks.
