Is this really a 1984 press or is it a mistake ? It has the same POL 350 code as the 1979 press...- My copy came with visible scuffs/scratches that are audible on playback. Anyone comment on their copy?
- much like jrsmusic i was concerned too, it does sound good. not noisy. i do find that european records don't have the volume that US manufactured vinyl does, i have no idea why. however, it isn't significant. sound good.
- I had one of these for a while. Very odd. Missed the intro of the opening tune. Noisy vinyl. there were other pressing flaws. Not recommended.

If anyone has an extra insert they’d like to part with, please contact me!- I just cracked this open. I was horrified just prior to doing it after I saw that I was Russia made. But man was I wrong. Sounds nice
referencing Three Imaginary Boys (LP, Album, Repress) FIX 1
Sounds great! Everything about this copy suggests it is a repress from 1979. It’s a great pressing! The spine, label, and jacket are all dated 1979 and all appearance is exactly the same as the original FIX 1 first pressing. The only difference is the matrices.referencing Three Imaginary Boys (LP, Album) 2383 539
I just happened to find a copy of this 1979 French pressing... The sound is fabulous.
