      I decided to have another go and picked up a copy while discounted on Amazon. I was pleased to discover that they are now packaging the folded poster outside of the inner sleeve, which was the cause of all my previous copies being scratched to high heaven. My latest copy has a small mark on A6 which causes some playback noise, but that is the bonus track so I'm not too fussed. It's otherwise near perfect and a nice clean pressing.

        Zero noise.
        Flat.
        Clean.
        What a discovery. PHENOMENAL.
        2010 release and I just woke up in 2024.
        And happy I did! Wow.
        Go!!!!

          Is that really a US version? Pressing plant seems to be GZ in Czech Republic (Europe)
          Sticker on back says "MADE IN CZECH REPUPLIC"

            It's such a shame when there isn't a perfect pressing of great albums, I compared 3 versions, this one is amazing, unfortunately there are a few pops and scratches even after cleaning, but the sound is wow! The bright HMV has no noise but the sound is not great, the normal European UK pressing also has a lot of errors

              Fantastic album and sounds great to my ears. The album cover is a cutout “X” which looks cool but is extremely annoying getting in and out of storage space and even putting the inner sleeve in. Mine ripped on one side at the bottom from another album getting caught on it. Consider getting an outer poly sleeve to protect it.

                Too much compressed and limited on mastering for my taste

                  Sounds great, clean. Flat. Cool sleeve. Comes with a cool 24x24 fold out poster with a big X on one side and lyrics/photos on the opposite

                    The bass on this thing is out of control. My pretty decent Edifier speakers can barely handle it. I didn't do a heavy clean just distilled water on a cloth (the thing was filthy straight out of the shrink), but there are a few crackles here and there. Otherwise sounds fabulous; would probably be flawless after a deep clean.

                      I agree with the other commenters regarding pressing quality- this thing sounds fantastic.

                      On the surface, I love the die-cut cover, but my god if you shelve your records and you don't have a plastic sleeve on it, it just *wants* to rip itself apart along the points in the X.

                        Nice and quiet, which is vital for a record like this. There are no mind-blowing sonics here, but if you like The XX, that's not an expectation.
