      An excellent release/pressing. The sound is clear, crisp, coherent, dynamic and punchy.

        Sped up ever so slightly. Night Rally fades out, too :(

        Words, words, words…

          This pressing kills the MoFi version. I’m glad I sold my MoFi version after I received this one.
          The MoFi just doesn’t have the dynamics that this pressing has.

            Such a SHITTY pressing. Way too fast. And it gets worse the more you get to the centre of the record. Almost CHIPMUNK level!

              Mine has an HMV Import sticker with another import licensing sticker under that. On the back cover it has the 7464-35331-1 barcode in the top right corner but at the bottom has in print the encircled C with Riviera Global Productions Limited encircled P 1978 Riviera etc but then has manufactured by with tiny rectangular stickers placed over the rest of the text to blank it out apart from 52nd Street, NY, N.Y then more black stickers blotting out what comes after this. As it came with those stickers when I bought it probably twenty five years ago I feel disinclined to remove them.

                My pressing is somewhat sibilant and has significant inner groove distortion.

                  My Swedish Smash cassette BARA 2 swaps the positions Living In Paradise with Pump It Up,and has an extra track on side 1 which is an alt version of Watching The Detectives.1975 release.

                    Back cover photograph is also different. I don't know why people don't mention that fact either... So there are five different front covers from 1978: the UK original off-center, UK centered, US original, this one, and the Finland off center cover with the Scandinavian photograph. Plus the various forms of reissue including the reissued UK off center one.

                    Very weird pressing cuz it IS all speeded up... I wonder if so they could get all these tracks in?

                      I've shot this out against the MoFi 2010 and the UMe 2021 reissue (EU) and this (the 1978 Porky Prime Cut) wins out by a fair margin.

                      The MoFi has a ton of detail and does sound more spacious with improved separation. But it's cut way too quiet and does not make use of that additional headroom for added dynamics. It just sounds neutered.

                      The 2021 sounds (on my system and to my ears) somewhat compressed and - ultimately - flat, and with little to recommend it over either the MoFi or the '78.

                      Which brings me to the '78: this is how this record should sound - tight, focused, punchy, spikey even, with a shed load of dynamics. The bottom end on this isn't as defined as the MoFi - but there it is too polite, and here it properly rocks.

                      The '78 Porky Prime is the recommended way to go, imo. But the jacket on the MoFi is nice (which isn't always the case with MoFis).

                        I have this issue but mine is promo with Columbia on labels and "for promotion only" stamp on the back cover. Any idea of what this could be? Do i have to make an entrance for this? Thanks
