This pressing has a few flaws but it not unlistenable. The mix is good. If you can find this for a reasonable price it is a decent way to own this amazing album. It will definitely need a wet cleaning.

This one comes with a cool booklet of lyrics and tabs to strum and sing along around the campfire!

You can try and prize this album from my cold dead hands if you like. But you’ll have to do that to get it off me! :)
One of the most under rated records in creation’s catalogue
Stunning
Great album but this pressing is pure trash. Side one runout groove runs into label and side two groove jumps into the track.
Edited 4 years agoThis is one of my favourite albums of all time and I bought this copy three days ago as I lost my original 1992 press to someone. The pressing is poor, the vinyl feels rather flimsy, it crackled upon first play (it was shrink wrapped when I bought it, new), after 3 or 4 plays it skips at the end of "Fying" (which makes the whole thing particularly irritating as that song is the peak of the album), and it seems to be pressed from a weak source, smells of digital to be honest. I went on Discogs after listening to it twice and bought a "near mint" copy of the original 1992 press instead. Just to give you an idea of how wrong it can go with this pressing.- Edited 5 years ago

A totally underrated album here! At least side 1 is magnificent by hearing it again some 27 years later. 
The catalog number on my version is RAD8005, is this a misprint or were two versions released?
This pressing sounds great. It's pretty silent and everything is mixed well, nothing is too quiet, nothing too loud. Comes with a printed inner as well as an inner sleeve with lyrics and tabs for each song, pretty neat! Great album. I think they moved forward big time on this sophomore release, it's a great psychedelic pop album with some slight shoegaze embellishments indeed. Recommended!

Just picked up a copy of this from my local record shop: sounds great! Vinyl is a cool translucent orange color, and is 180g is it's nice and bulky. It was retailing new for $15; I'm not sure if that's standard pricing for it, but definitely cheaper than I was expecting from the average prices here.
A totally under-rated british shoegaze classic that I think ranks up there with the best albums by MBV, Slowdive, Lush, etc. Highly recommended.
