I think it is the loudest record in my collection. But at the same time it is one of the most dynamic and clean sounding ones. It is crazy what is possible in the studio, mastering and pressing plant.

What a debut album from this amazing band that started preaching about 1984 quickly approaching and NEVER stopped! And this pressing kicks butt and puts it right in your face and forces it down your throat! Sounds even better than it looks and it looks very cool! Very punchy and clear!referencing Killing Joke (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Black & Clear [Half And Half]) SPINE515345
Excellent pressing. Sound quality is top notch. My copy isn’t super flat. It’s got a slight ripple when playing but it can’t be heard and the sound quality more than makes up for it.

Fab pressing, highly recommended words words words words words words

Fantastic pressing.
Dynamics for miles bright and heavy.
No gate, but who cares.- R.I.P. Geordie Walker. One of the best guitarist, in one of the best band in the world. Sadly missed.

Found this version recently and held off getting it cause I figured it was a boot. Vinyl and sleeve too pristine for a 43 year old LP. It has all the correct identifiers, including the Jem distro info. However, hand etched "Editions EG - Malicious Damage" appears on the matrix. Any ideas on the verity of this awesome album?- Has anyone compared the sound of this pressing to the Let Them Eat Vinyl 2LP remaster?

This is a solid pressing. The bass, drums and synth truly shine in the punchy mix. I adore the font and design layout on the track listing on back of the jacket.
