A lot of baloney below about the quality of this copy. Listening to the A1/B1 matrix on a Sondek with quality system and it’s great. The record did benefit from ultrasound cleaning to lose some crackles that were there from new, maybe a bit of contamination that crept in after pressing, but I do that routinely with all vinyl anyway.
Quiet vinyl, good soundstage and dynamics, and has been cut to use plenty of the disc without excessive runout. Sleeve and inner are good quality, nice flat vinyl.

This is a wonderful sounding pressing. No noise, not warped, super clean straight out of the sleeve. Looks great in white too.

Music sounds good to my ears. I think album sleeve should have have been made a bit thicker, it feels very thin.

No issues with my copy. #10714. Lovely and quiet all the way through. So much better than the 2015 Columbia Legacy reissue I'd had up until now. This is exactly what you'd hope for with a MoFi release.

Not a patch on the quality of pressing of the 2015 and 2018 black and green variants pressed at MOV/RI, but then thats MPO for you, rarely a flat non fill free record in their inventory and so it proves here. Sounds ok but with this music the quality of pressing matters alot and because of that i returned mine quick fast

Essentially this is a lovely green version of the excellent 2015 issue pressed at Record Industry using the MOV plates and thats a good thing. A very good thing indeed. Flat, quiet, well mastered and really does the business. While it has no audible difference from the black version the ltd nature and the colour does instill a certain pride of ownership but only you can decide how much a green version of fairly common black record is worth!

Just received and played my copy #10,830, wow what a phenomenal album and pressing beginning to end. No issues dead silent and intricately detailed.
