      My side D has Open, High, Apart on the center label, don’t know if anyone else has that issue, LPs were flat with little to no marks, def recommend this if you don’t want to go for the OG

        Was so excited to have found this almost a year before the re-issue, not knowing it was "unofficial." It says Printed in Czech so just figured it was an import original. Oh well, it sounds good and i only paid $50 for it. At least the gold looks great!

          Does anyone here know how the 2022(non picture) sounds compared to the latest 2023? I've only heard this album on the original CD, but I no longer have a CD player. So I want this on vinyl, but the original is a bit pricey.

            I find it a bit funny that no.one has commented on the lack of the B-sides from the original 12" singles Friday I'm In Love and High.
            These 4 tracks would seem like the most natural tracks to be included in a deluxe set, but no. I have them myself on CD singles, but still, I don't get why they where excluded while some demos of said tracks were included, There is still enough room on 3 CDs to fit them in. It just makes no sense.

              There's either a serious mastering or pressing error on the entirity of Side C that I am surprised hasn't been addressed by Warner/Fiction. For example, Friday I'm In Love, there's a strange dropoff/swishing sound in the high frequencies starting off at the bridge ("Dressed up to the eyes") all the way through its completion. Then on "A Letter to Elise," there's similar swishing sound during the instrumental break before the last verse. I'd find it very hard to believe this passed the muster on test pressings and this is rather uncharacteristic of Miles Showell's work. I haven't had a chance to go through the rest of the set yet cause I wanted to hear one song, but judging from the comments below, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one experiencing this. Pallas did the worldwide pressing for Polydor, I wonder if that one also experiences the same issues?

              Listening on an Audio Technica ATLP120XUSB with a VM95ML cartridge.

              Note:
              Someone posted the Wish album on You Tube and you can hear the artifacts I am describing on this video clip (I am not the uploader)

                Compared to my CD this sounds a lot more open, and generally more analog/natural; All around improvement. The mix is better, I find the vocals a bit too forward in the CD, and it sounds harsh in comparison. I think the CD sounds good, but this Spanish pressing is great.

                  If anyone else has this version - does your CD booklet by any chance have a duplicate of the third page instead of the second page?

                    Just got this and it’s my first time ever hearing an original Wish after 30 years (I bought the cassette the week it came out) and of course it’s the absolute best I’ve ever heard it. I’ve toggled back and forth with the 2022 digital and it’s just so much bigger and deeper with clear analog sounds across the soundstage. I can’t comment on the new vinyl pressing but I’ve seen the negative reviews when compared to OGs. Save your euros and get this!

                      My pressing of Wish is silent and I have no issues with the pressing as other people have had. If it is a bad pressing, send it back.

                      Also, I do not think this was done at 1/2 speed. Wouldn't Miles have noted that in the deadwax?

                        Is it just me, or are the tracks on Side D listed in the wrong order on the back?
