The surface noise is unbelievable you can hear it over the music, in some parts it drowns out the music, totally unlistenable
Here it is: Manufactured in EU
Under license from OOO "Universal Music" Russia
Pressing: GZ Digital Media – 71267E
This seems to explain the poor quality.
This sounds incredible. The drums are pounding and in your face. Never tire of this one
It has excellent sound but the cheap inner sleeve is causing some damage on the vinyl like clicks and pops all over the record
Poor quality, low noice behind the music, poor dynamic. The picture disc is beautiful but it’s just good as a collection item not to be listen.

nice compact version of the original deluxe edition, very handy if you are lacking in space and it comes with all the bells & whistles. :)
Just listening to mine, flat, no crackle or noise at all. V pleased although I didn’t realise it was Russian either.
Edited 5 months agoGreat sound on my copy. No warping and skipping to report! Buy with confidence.
Here we have a beautiful German pressing and sounds great. The sound is fresh and crispy.
referencing Three Imaginary Boys (LP, Album) FIX 1
This sounds so very good.... So dynamic , powerful bass, excellent guitars and voice.
