Cocteau Twins – Victorialand

I was worried thanks to reviews like the one saying "absolutely horrible pressing" but I'm glad I took the risk. my copy is crystal clear, no pops or surface noise, the music sounds well mastered, can't really ask for more.

I also have this pressing but mine is at 33rpm. I also have a OG pressing from UK which is at 45, this 33 actually sounds really good

Can anyone guess what the year of this release?
Where it was made/pressed?

what can i say just read the reviews below me everything everyone is saying is spot on !! this is a incredible sounding album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My copy is crystal clear and clean as a whistle. Guess I just got lucky as my original copy on 45 RPM got stolen and I've been hoping to secure another copy of this excellent record.

Absolutely horrible pressing. Noises and distorsions everywhere. I don't recommend it.

the 45rpm sounds amazing, this is the only version i have ever owned ( bought it when orig came out). I was curious about this reissue as i heard it was remastered from orig tapes, but at 33rpm, no thank you. This is my fave Cocteau Twins album

I have this pressing too and can also confirm it sounds amazing! Really clean and does justice to the incredible music across both sides of the record. You need this one in your collection if you like anything Cocteau related! It will be one of the best records you will ever own :)

One of the best sounding pressings of a record I own. Just lovely. And it’s cheap so get yer arse in gear and get one. Thank me later…. :)
Bought mine from Beggars Banquet in Kingston U.K. on release, came with a poster.

This has a lot of detail and is quiet, but unfortunately, it's rather hissy/sibilant, especially tracks 3 and 4. This is on a good system with ultrasonically cleaned vinyl. I had the same issue with the other Japanese pressing YQ-7049. The original UK and Canadian pressings don't do this.
