Saw these guys in London in early 90's and bought the 10" before returning to Australia.. haven't played the album much but rediscovered the sound of late.. sort of a trip down memory lane.

This is the best sounding pressing out there of this album

This is a great pressing. The guitar and bass sound is balanced, vocal harmonies shine, I had only listened to this album on digital formats so far, now I feel like I am discovering all of Lush’s airy intricacies.

My copy sounds fine too, playing via AT VM95ml cartridge if that's any help to anyone. Beautiful package overall.

I’m on my 2nd black copy and both have had dimples in the vinyl. In this era, I don’t know what the hell they’re doing. 4AD used to have fantastic pressings but it seems those days are long gone. Where did they even get these pressed, Jamaica in the 70s?

Just one tick last track side 2 other noise free. Can’t compare to original. Okay booklet

Fun fact about this album - It was produced at September Sound, which was the Cocteau Twins' recording studio where Heaven or Las Vegas, Four-Calendar Café, and Milk & Kisses were all recorded/produced. Robin Guthrie, the guitarist and producer of the Cocteau Twins, also produced this album. If you're catching any similarities to the Cocteau Twins with this album, you're not mistaken! I figure most of you know this, but thought I'd share :-)

Mine sounds great except I have crackling between tracks in a few places in Side A. May try a cleaning and see if that helps but I'm doubtful. The tracks themselves sound fantastic my copy is still very listenable.

Any comments on the pressing quality anyone? Is there a black reissue, too?

Very happy with the overall sound, but I've got a fair amount of crackle on my copy, noticeable on some of the lead-outs and lead-ins of songs, and also a bad crackle for the final 20 seconds or so of the last track. Wet clean didn't help.

Going to get another copy, either black or clear, to see if it's any better. This and Split were my first Bandbox purchases and I'm not thrilled.
