      Not bad, but overrated remaster, too bright for my taste. Not at all similar to 1985 CD (catalogue number F2 21192). It's much more close to 0946 3 21192 2 3.

        Sounds very good all the way through. Heart of Glass (disco version here) bumps! Rest of the tracks are musical, warm and classic late 70's production.

          My copy has these labels but the stamped number on the runout I think starts with a 6 not a 5 like the catalogue number, it’s just a bit small and distorted. My copy is a bit noisy, it’s been brushed but not had a full clean. Sleeve picture is not printed that well.

            Great pressing! No complaints on the mix, everything is balanced, quiet floor, and detailed soundstage. Glad I spent extra on a NM, flat copy; spin this weekly. Must own!

              How good is this album! Debbie’s vocals soar on this pressing, great separation in instrumentation. New wave classic that rocks!

                Don't be put off by the fact this was a budget reissue. It's cut by The Beatles legendary cutting engineer Harry Moss, and sounds great. It has a clarity that is missing from the UK first pressing with a much improved high-end.

                  The record sounds great. Punchy, clear. If I have a grumble it’s A) the sleeve photo is a bit fuzzy. I don’t recall the original sleeve looking like that
                  and B) the inner sleeve isn’t the best. Fairly thick card. I’ve replaced mine.

                  The lyrics to the track Parallel Lines are still showing on the inner. Has anyone actually heard this song ?

                  Anyway, classic album. Pop, New Wave, punk attitude mixed with Phil Spector. You can’t go wrong really. I prefer Plastic Letters but this one still gets a 9/10

                    Not a bad word to say about this one, lacquer cut by the legend ‘Tone’ quality pressing- It was bought in 78, still sounds great. Fans shouldn’t have to hunt this one down, I’m sure a recent repress would sound better.

                      This issue features the inner sleeve. Is so so sounding. It has little too much mid range for my taste

                        Chrysalis, how dare you. The LP sounds like it is recorded like mixing all the sound in a can. No distinction of bass, drums, guitars and voice. No space, it all sounds like playing it on a transistor radio with one bad speaker. Waste of money
