      Love the album but the clear vinyl sounds muddy and rubbish! Very much worse than Apple Music version!

        The LP and the Demos record sound very nice, quiet and without unnecessary loudness. The 45RPM EP, is pretty loud (at least for me) and appears to have a different mastering. I like the songs, except "Miserere" (definitely NOT for me). The real treat for me is the "demos" LP, I expected to like the demos more than the final mix and I was very pleasantly surprised! Sound is great and I remembered the "older" PSB stuff, which will always be the best for me (and I don't mean the later stuff is not good, I enjoy most of the music they're making, but I grew up listening to their songs from the very beginning, so the music of that era has curved my heart and sentimentality forever). If only they issued the demos of all the latest albums (on vinyl of course, I do NOT buy CDs any more and downloading files will NEVER interest me) I would grab them immediately! It is always a blessing for my ears to listen to their own musical creations, before producers and remixers put their hands on them...

        The pressings of my copy are flat and centered, labels are perfect and there are no defects.

        The idea of the packaging is nice, BUT not at all practical. The inner-sleeves are small and narrow and putting a Japan-style antistatic to protect the record will leave the upper-part out making it hard to slide it back to the tripple-pack. Also, if you want to protect the cover with a transparent outer-sleeve, each time you'll want to play the records, you'll have to slide the whole package out and taking the records out and putting them back in will prove to be an ordeal. I'm pretty sure that within a short period of time, both outer and inner-sleeves will be worn or damaged...There should definitely be more SPACE for the records in the whole package. The insert with the lyrics suffocates inside the cover and if you are not VERY careful, it will probably get torn or damaged while you pull the record out or slide it back in...

          Is there definitely a version of this with the BN09138 code on the A and B sides? It seems odd that they would have entirely recut the album just for part of this already small production run when the BN06370 plates were used for every other Optimal pressing. Obviously I can't speak for others but my copy of the white 2LP definitely has the 06370 runouts on the main album.

            The sleeve card is a little thin by any means and the inner thin rough low quality card! That's showbiz I guess!

              Exceptional quality pressing. Silent, lots of dynamics, completely flat and on-centre. Music wise it's ok, not their best but not their worst either.

                Seit 28 Jahren habe ich mir kein Pet-Shop-Boys-Album mehr gekauft. Die Blu-ray samt Atmos-Mix war ein Grund, das zu ändern. Musikalischer Eindruck: Es hat sich in drei Jahrzehnten bei Neil Tennant und Chris Lowe kaum etwas geändert - außer dass auch Neil jetzt eine Brille trägt: gefällige Syntie-Pop-Songs garniert mit Geigen und ein paar sanften Gitarren (elektrisch und akkustisch). Vieles tanzbar, zeitlos, elegant. Wobei man sich schon fragt, ob sich die Pet Shop Boys noch nie nach neuen Instrumenten umgeschaut haben. Sie scheinen immer noch hauptsächlich auf ihren 80er-Jahre-Synthesizern herumzuklimpern.
                Bester Track: "Loneliness" (sehenswert auch das das Spät-Comming-Out-Video zum Song, beigefügt als Bonus mit mehreren Szenen die auf Klappen spielen).
                Musikalischer Tiefpunkt: "The Schlager Hit Parade" - wenn das ejne Parodie werden sollte, ist sie mißlungen.
                Der Dolby-Atmos-Mix kommt ohne große Überraschungen daher, ist auffallend zurückhaltend gemischt, irgendwie unaufgeregt und entspannt - was zur Musik passt. Streicher, und Synthesizer-Sounds kommen oft aus den Rears, dazu ein paar Geräusche von oben, Gesang und Rythmusgruppe brav von vorne aus der Mitte. Der Mix klingt aber ausgewogen und gut mit seinen dezent wummernden Bässen. Kurz gesagt: elegant.

                  If I may, I'd say this is the best colored pressing. This one was made in the USA, and the vinyl sleeve is much better quality than the European pressings. The sound quality is the same, but I was really let down by the standard office paper used for the vinyl records made in Germany.

                    Just picked this up at Toys R Us Canada, The HMV Shop. The jacket feels different than the other pressings. The image is darker than the EU versions. And of course this copy contains the Warner logo on the back of jacket and labels. Listening right now and the sound is pretty good so far.

                      Blood Records sent me a replacement too due to a bad groove on side 1 track 1, which jumps forward three times with loud pops. The replacement arrived two months later in a rough cardboard mailer, with no protection, no inner sleeve or even plastic wrap, just the record itself. Now the replacement is all scuffed from bouncing around in the cardboard mailer. Do these people have any idea what they are doing? Will never buy from Blood Records manufacturer again.

                        Mediocre mastering. Shame. There albums have all been masterfully well recorded. This is a good album but sound wise nothing to shout about.
