Good sounding reissue, don't know much about it but no complaints here
referencing Express Yourself (LP, Album, Stereo) WS 1864
Yes I have a stronger p here so i guess you can change it to Pitman Pressing- Really excellent pressing imo.
The jacket is as basic as MOV gets but the artwork is fine. My copy 0415 is flat, centered and super quiet. It has light black marbling within so isnt entirely turquoise but i like it this way all the same. No spots of black residue of previous pressing mind, clearly it was intended this way and MOV are hardly doing any black vinyl issues at the moment!
Sound is more than acceptable. I dont care for sources accept for when labels lie or mislead me and MOV dont so im happy here and this is a clear upgrade on the Real Gone reissue overall 
Disappointed that this is the version which omits "Road Without an End" but otherwise this is a decent release.
The turquoise vinyl has a few black parts - guessing this might be because my copy is one of the low numbers in limited edition and the pressing machine still had small bits of black inside, so I don't know if this is a common issue across all manufactured.
Sound-wise, I have nothing to compare this to but to my ears it is decent. Not AAA but good enough to enjoy.
Vinyl is flat and quiet.
In all, pretty good.
I just listened to this very carefully and thought it sounded great.
Edited 3 years agoNot really impressed to be frank.
packaging was fine and nothing overly wrong with the pressing. Sound feels very compressed to me. Drawn in soundstage, not very dynamic. Man i love this record, i wanted more.
