No issues with my copy. A pretty fantastic sounding pressing, actually. Prominent low end compliments Andy Gill’s guitar very nicely. Drums sound great, too.

This pressing sounds huge and immersive. Punchy with good dynamics and separation. Strong bass.

Hi rosepierre.

I'm pretty sure that the copy you have is called a "Frankenstein" as it is put together with different cover and vinyls.

The records companies did that with many releases back in the days where they had the cover produced in 1 country and the vinyls pressed in another and then just sent them overseas.

Hope this clears your case a little :-)

All the best.

bought this soon after release in a U.S. shop and have always thought I had a U.S. pressing, but oddly enough although the outer jacket has the catalog number and markings of the U.S. release, my inner sleeve and lp are both the U.K. edition with the U.K catalog number and EMI label. i guess capitalism pulled some strings on my copy.

Not sure what other copies of this pressing are like, but my copy is pressed WILDLY off-center. Both sides are bad, but I would say Side 1 is worse. Keep an eye out people!
