Notes
Though this cover photo bears a striking resemblance to Tom Waits, the photograph is actually one of a series taken by the Swedish photographer Anders Petersen at Café Lehmitz (a café near the Hamburg red-light boulevard Reeperbahn) in the late 1960s.

Have to agree with the other posters. This pressing is a dud. Unplayable.
Shameless money grab.- While there is some surface noise, the record sounds really decent. Not much different then an older pressing I have (which, admittedly, is not in a great condition) in terms of sound, and is much less noisy and doesn’t skip. A great listening experience imo, and sound is perfect for the album vibe.
- Beautiful pressing. Agreed 55 minutes pushes the boundary of a single LP. My copy is flat, super quiet, and sounds excceptional. LinnLP12/Ekos/Kandid.
This album really has to get a double LP reissue. Cramming 19 songs on one just too challenging for cutters and pressing plants that don’t have the right skills or raw materials. Agree with comments about the Czech pressing. Shameful. I keep looking for clean old copies until we finally get an audiophile 2xLP. .
This 24-bit 192kHz remaster sounds amazing. The clarity, dynamics, and mix are perfect. If you could play the master tape at home any time you wanted this is likely what you'd hear.- Edited 4 months ago

Terrible sound, thin, no detail, stay away…. the swordfishtrombones remaster is the same garbage.
Never saw a reissue sound as good as originals. 
Sure, this sounds a bit cramped as each side is well over 20 minutes... but to the best of my knowledge this album has ALWAYS been pressed like this. So this problem has probably affected every single pressing of this album. Yes, the dynamics could be a bit better - which is probably the biggest fault of how long each side is. I would also have loved to have an 2LP version for sure... BUT... let's be perfectly clear. This pressing sounds OK, its not mindblowing - but it's good enough. Definitely not garbage. My pressing doesn't have any surface noise (check your gear - or clean your stuff maybe?) and mine had no mysterious white stuff either. Perhaps some listeners here aren't diggin the new mastering? Just really happy to have this finally on vinyl.
Hmm - sounds good to me. Used to have an original (now lost) so can't compare. No surface noise, good soundstage, all round very good.referencing Rain Dogs (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Blue Sky Opaque, 180g) B0037078-01
Flawless pressing, sounds great, it's nice to be able to get an affordable copy.
Edited 7 months agoliteral garbage. Poor sound quality/mastering and tons of surface noise. You're much better off listening to this album on streaming
