Tiny bit of noise throughout the last track, great pressing though! Really good sounding record.

I have had some tremendously bad experiences with the things Matador puts out on vinyl, but this is a BIG exception. It's a perfect sounding pressing of a perfect record.

Does anyone else get a lot of scratching and surface noise on side 2 only? First side sounds great tho?

It’s perfect in every way! Mine has a little black streak and I love it!

I found this for $14 in a second hand bin. Was surprised to see it pressed in 45 RPM. I saw lots of comments here about surface noise and warping but decided to try it anyway. My copy has a slight warp only noticeable when the record is spinning, definitely not audible. I do hear some popping/surface noise (albeit pretty quiet), but I didn’t clean the record before playing so I may try that to see if there’s any improvement. The music itself sounds very good. I wouldn’t say the surface noise is too distracting. But I definitely wouldn’t pay more than 15-20 dollars for this pressing.

Yikes, terrible surface noise. This is a pretty bad pressing!

It’s quiet with no pops. I.e., it plays properly. I listened to the previous black pressings and they were 🤬ed. By all the reports, the earlier coloured ones were the same. Buy this while it doesn’t cost a fortune.

Sound quality is better than most other pressings imo, and it's a great color. Generally great, 10/10

Really well recorded and produced EP. The soundstage has a ton of air around all the instruments and vocals. Very expansive soundscape for a small ensemble. Great sounding record. Reminds me a bit of the Cowboy Junkies.

Mine came w/ a massive scratch that looks like someone tried to carve an “S” into the wax :(

Doesn’t seem to effect play too bad, a couple clicks on occasion; rest of the record is flawless.
