Tracklist and title do not match the CD in the images and the data.
The CD in the images is Surfer Rosa & Come On Pilgrim,
from this pressing:

This copy is way better than Mofi. In my opinion the best sounding pressing of all. Side by side this one kills it and all other versions

Very clear, no crackles or pops. Heavy bass, but decently separated. Might be a little flat, but I don't have another pressing to compare it to. No necessarily the type of music to separate rich tones and soundstages, but sounds really good on vinyl.

High quality Reissue! Sound is pretty much flawless with very minimal surface noise.
Truly a great album and surprisingly great pressing for $25 brand new!

Hi,
anyone here to say in which year the publishing?

I have a copy, very similar to this press but with some key differences... Cover is more "matte" but the images on the front and back are shiny. The inner is not the "gold" version that takes on fingerprints but rather an almost ochre color (or gold but does not take fingerprints). The run outs are very similar but on the A side 803 is 8 then a 3 overset with a 0 then 3. I have no historical provenance to know if it's an early press or possible reissue. Recently purchased from Stereomonic. Anyone else have the same?

terribly noisey pressing. wetwash did nothing to improve it.
but, them's the breaks. sounds great otherwise ;)

Mastering wise this release is phenomenal, loud and punchy in all the right places.

HOWEVER, my copy has some ugly pops on "Cactus" even after cleaning. Anyone else?

Any Surfer Rosa experts out there that can help ID my copy, specifically th he cover difference between the "Rough" cover Pixies - Surfer Rosa and "Smooth" Pixies - Surfer Rosa? The version I have has a cream color matte border, but I wouldn't call it rough. The center photograph seems to have more of a sheen than the border. Labels match rough cover edition more closely than smooth.

sounds pretty great. The classic albini production on this album sounds even better on an uncompressed medium like vinyl. very wide and dynamic.
