Echo & The Bunnymen – Songs To Learn & Sing

I'm trying to confirm if my copy fits this release, as I don't have the 7" single to match. Matrix numbers, as follows:
SIDE A: R/S Alsdorf 240767-1 A Rays ^8
SIDE B: ,,D'' R/S Alsdorf 240767-1 BX 1̶1̶1̶1̶1̶

first compilation of Echo & the Bunnymen... waiting for new albums to be released

Does that entry above indicate that the yellow folded insert was only packed in the pressings with the above runouts, and these were only shipped to the UK from Germany? I have a copy with a slightly differing runout, that has the yellow insert and was sold by former Cologne big scale trader SATURN HANSA in Germany as well! And not for additional import prices, as the sticker on back shows!

I had the same issue re the small warp. Hardy noticeable but makes a small "whoomp" sound as it passes through. Audible for 10-15 seconds on Rescue but Never Stop kicks in straight away so not really audible. Not so much a problem as it is annoying particularly if you like a perfect copy.

Some of these records have a press defect! I encountered a warp that caused needle jump for the first 15 seconds of both sides. This defect was found on two copies (I bought one, returned it to the store for another, and the second one had the same flaw). Doesn't seem like others had this problem, but I had two from the same batch that had the exact same problem.

My copy is noisy between tracks. What are others experiencing?

Great reissue, sounds as good as the original if not better. Thankfully repressed as this is a must collection of iconic early Bunnymen output

Just received this is the mail from the Rhino store (preordered). Haven't given it a spin yet, but the records at least look in good shape. One thing I did notice though, is the cover is crimped/wrinkled in the front and already has some minor ring wear on the back. Not the first time this has happened when I ordered reissues from Rhino (same thing on some of the Joy Division & New Order reissues). Anyone else experience the same thing? And yeah, prices the flippers are asking for on this are ridiculous! I paid $42 USD with shipping and they're asking for double that.

Sounds fantastic! paid $24.99 locally. not disappointed!
(rappy word-imgham) one. (ten words- I'm not Robert Christgau)

Clean, quiet and flat vinyl (shouldn't have to point that out, but...). Great sounding. Slight odd that there is a separate lyric sheet whilst lyrics also printed on internal sleeve, but there you go.
