- Beautifully crafted package. My version faithfully replicates the embossed cover and even the sticker for the track listing.
Very impressive. 
My copy is flat, centered, and super quiet. This Sterling pressing delivers plenty of dynamics; the soundstage is enveloping as if in the middle of the players. This was a cheap heat pick up at my local and I am stunned every time I play it. Curious how it stands up to a UK og?
Pro-Ject X1B + Sumiko Wellfleet / Musical Fidelity m5si / Schiit Mani 2 / Dali Oberon 7's- My copy with the embossed sleeve has no track listing sticker. I bought it on the day of release and a friend who did likewise also has the same sleeve. Was there a rogue batch missing the sticker?
referencing Setting Sons (LP, Album) MPF 1278
I have this version and the catalogue number is the same - MPF 1278. Fantastic sounding pressing.
Beautiful Boxset. I just wish all The Jam albums had been done like this. I’d cream my pants for a Sound Affects one.
Top class pressing, wonderful sound - great bass and crystal clear treble notes- Is this second pressing better than the first one? Thanks for feedback
Can someone who owns it put the Brazilian release up?- My recommendations. This is awesome sounding pressing! Don't look further...
