So incredibly clean and full of life. I’m fine with the packaging outside of no text in the spine.

This is a great find and pleasantly surprising for a clear vinyl record. Very detailed, good dynamics and keeps the 80s sound, flat and no surface noise at all. I personally like the Japanese rice/washi paper design, but do wish it had a spine as it gets lost in the collection. Otherwise, if you see this, don’t think twice, just GET IT. Thank you Rhino!

Didn’t know it was so rare to find. But seems like Rhino.com still has them available at $40 a pop.

For reference, played on all Cambridge:

I bought mine used, sometime in the late 1990s. It sounds quite tinny, with very little bass. I have never heard any other CD editions of this album to compare it to, but I do have this album on vinyl and cassette; both sound vastly superior to this CD. I currently have CD compilations that include all those songs ("Greatest Hits" and "Join the Dots") with excellent sound quality. If you also have both of these, than you can safely skip this CD.

Why would they release this in a flimsy vellum sleeve? But, hey, it has Lovecats on it.

Has anyone compared it to the UK press? Especially in low frequencies

Surprisingly great sounding, as Cure releases go. Well worth the price. I agree that the packaging is a bit flimsy, but — Art.
