Can anybody comment on the quality of this pressing? I have not been impressed with MPO vinyl in the past three years or so and am a little wary on that account. MPO did do a great on Bob Dylan’s ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways’ it has to be said, but that may be a temporary ‘aberration’?

I received a noisy pressing, full of repetitive clicks even after Vacuum cleaning: Side A end of True Coming Dream and Little Hammer and in Side B it started in Fell from the Sun and after several repetitive clicks I just quitted to listen. I will contact the label directly as this does not seem to be a problem with my copy but a pressing problem that should affect more copies. A shame that a so nice record is affected by this.

This is the first release for 4AD in 1990, yet the catalogue nr. starts with CAD0002.
Does anyone know, what happened to (AD)0001 or why this is nr. 2 in 1990?

Nice to have this again after all these years - but why the decision to omit the original B-sides of "Barging into the presence of god" from this edition? A missed opportunity...

I can't believe there's no DLC included. I bought the download off the 4AD site a few years ago just to have a digital copy. I just took it for granted that the bonus material would be digitally included with the vinyl purchase.

I never heard the original LP, however this new 30th Anniversary edition (double clear LP) is fantastic sounding. The vinyl has no defects or surface noise (always wash your new records prior to first listen). The music is dynamic, spacious and enjoyable to listen to. Even the bonus LP containing the demo's and peel sessions sound very very good. Well done on this re-release and bonus content! I hope "In Ribbons" gets this same treatment!

My copy brought at the time of release in Soho (Sister Ray I think) came with a free promo poster. Wonderful album.

I mean, you know, I'm biased and everything, but...still one of the greatest debut albums.
