bought it on CD in 1989 and played it day and night. it was a fantastic follow up to Dimension Hatröss. to hear this on LP is like hearing it for the first time at all. dynamic, production, mixing....everything is on top. highly recommended!

My copy sounds like the spindle hole is off-centered, the pitch of the recording slightly goes up and down and it gets worse the closer you get to the end of each side. Same problem I have with my copy of https://www.discogs.com/release/9152500-Blink-182-The-Mark-Tom-And-Travis-Show-The-Enema-Strikes-Back

To those wondering about this pressing, it was pressed at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, North Carolina on a refurbished SMT. The company was and is still rather new at the time, and I was the only employee with any prior pressing experience working there at the time. There was a general strike around this time and a change of leadership and a nearly completely fresh production staff. I had a hell of a time stretching out what little swirl we had, and was dealing with a broken mould wedge that was repeatedly shredding bottom stampers. It was a rough run. also tbh, the cut wasn't all that fantastic anyway, and imo one should not expect colored vinyl to be perfect. either way I certainly hope no one got anything unlistenable or horrible.
I don't know if the music it "WELL MADE" since I didn't open it yet, but the print quality is pretty shit.
All pixelated like they took a small picture and printed it big looking like some dude printed in his house.
Too bad...Part of the fun in vinyl is the package and covers.

Pulled this out for a listen after listening it to it a few times last year. Here are my thoughts on this reissue:
This record is cut really quiet. Any surface noise that may be on your copy is really going to be apparent. My copy only has a few ticks across both sides, but they seemed to have softened over each play. That said, this record sounds really great. Very dynamic, plenty of bass and the music is punchy. You gotta crank the volume up a fair amount, but otherwise no other issues I can hear or see while listening.
Worthwhile reissue on very striking pink vinyl.referencing Nothingface (LP, Album, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Pink/Blue Swirl) RGM-1371
Real Gone Music should take a page out of the High Roller Records book - all of the HRR reissues are lavish and do the originals justice in terms of sound and appearance. Loads could have been included here - the original CD version of Nothingface (on Noise) had lyric sheets, a poster and a fold-out panel by Away for every song - all of this could have been utilised. Currently charged £32 on Amazon UK, this release isn't worth half that money. Pity for such a landmark album.

My copy has mostly pink with little blue, almost white swirls. Very flat disc which sounds great, no divots.

Pink vinyl for this album...lol, and I wonder what they have been thinking?!referencing Nothingface (LP, Album, Record Store Day, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Pink/Blue Swirl) RGM-1371
mine is 99% pink with very little blue (more like white) flecks in the vinyl. only a few little divits as some have reported. Some have posted pics of a VERY marbled versions, I bought two and both are mostly pink. Any insight on where these more marbled versions may have come from? or what % of the 6000 were this different? Overall, sounds pretty good... but no vinyl will ever beat the digitally recorded album on cd.

I was disappointed in this. Flat sounding and very quiet with seemingly little effort out into the layout, no insert. Nothing special about this release. My original cassette sounds much better
