Pixies – Trompe Le Monde

Anyway to tell the difference between this pressing and the the GZ Media one here without opening it? https://www.discogs.com/release/20199340-Pixies-Trompe-Le-Monde. I bought a copy without a Made in Czech Republic sticker on the back, but it was still the GZ pressing, it has same bar code numbers as this release as well.

Copy had no issues, looks and sounds awesome. Happy to have this edition in the collection.

Whoops, MFSL accidentally (or perhaps completely intentionally) made this album listenable. Whoops, it's since become one of my favorite Pixies albums. Completely blows standard CD copies out of the water, and completely fun to crank up to max volume.

Possibly the best looking record in my collection, sounds great too.

Beautiful looking record, very little surface noise, a quality repress. Nothing to complain about, I dig it!

My copy is as good as generally mentioned here....flat, quiet, no issues other than the inner sleeve is WAY too small so it arrived with a 4" seam split and the vinyl was nearly stuck permanently from the clinging. Not my favorite Pixies album but for $20 all-in it's worth completing the collection for sure.

No sticker or indication of pressing origin.

Great pressing, beautiful graphic and the quality is pretry much perfect, no clics and pops, a solid choice

I am a big MoFi fan, but I have to say that I greatly prefer the UK original of this album to the MoFi pressing. The MoFi sounds more compressed, less dynamic and less inviting. It's still a good sounding record, but it doesn't have the same life as the original. IMO, if looking to purchase a copy of this album, I would go for the original before this one.

I can't comment on the other, seemingly more common pressing for this reissue (the CZ one: https://www.discogs.com/release/20199340-Pixies-Trompe-Le-Monde), but my MPO copy arrived today and sounds fantastic. I don't have an original or earlier pressing to compare, but this just explodes out of the speakers the way that this record is meant to. I'm using a Technics 1211 MK2 (either 1990 or most likely 2000 as they were manufactured every 10 years iirc) with a Pyle pre-amp through a Yamaha receiver ca. 2003 and Pinnacle bookshelf speakers from the '90s.

No problems with my disc or pressing. Very quiet & sounds as good as source allows. Thought it might be MPO press, but confirmed it is this pressing. No sign of MADE IN CZECH on shrink though. Purchased from local record shop (END OF AN EAR).
