A Winged Victory For The Sullen – A Winged Victory For The Sullen

Horrible pressing. My copy looks like it is spinning flat, but it has an audible warble throughout, which you simply cannot have on an ambient album like this. Stay away. Stay digital on this one. Rating is for the music, not the pressing. The pressing is one star.

Got this recently, the first track is indeed a little bit warped, but the rest of the record plays beautifully. What a fantastic experience!

This was my first experience of this group.What an introduction!Beautiful!

Gorgeous music that sounds excellent. My copy is completely silent on side B, and mostly silent on side A except for track A4, which has surface noise that’s not terrible but also not great. On the bright side, A4 is the 2nd shortest track, and it’s at the end of a side if I want to stop listening.

Despite the noise on A4, this is still 5-star music and close enough to 5-star presentation for me.

Noisy, wet cleaning can't help it. Recurring and non-recurring. Visible imperfections and light scratches on the disc. This was my replacement copy after sending the first one back.

Love this record but the pressing quality is f***ing garbage. On an album as quiet as this, there are more loud cracks and pops than musical cues. Its legitimately nasty to listen to.

Decent pressing. Some surface noise on mine, but not much. Sound is wonderful! Especially important in this kind of music, I feel.

Great record, but my copy was sadly warped but bleep got a me refund. I can't believe all money up in air with all these flaws. I can't remember it was like this in the 80s.

Bought this sealed and it is a little bit warped with some minor surface noise (yes, the Erased Tapes gatefold version). Doesn't bother me, personally, the music is so easily to get lost in that I hardly notice. But to someone sensitive to these things, know that my copy was not perfect.

I guess I lucked out because my copy is flat as can be with minimal noise. I adore this record and the album art
