    A small amount of surface noise between tracks, but otherwise sounds really rich and deep. Great pressing, love that it's 45 RPM!

      First records received badly warped. VMP sent a new one and that was much better. Nice and flat. Sound-wise a big step up from the original SC pressing which wasn't so nice. Much better soundstage on this, the "ambient" aspects of the record comes much better off than before.

        Nice job by VMP cleaning this one up. Sounds great. Recommend.

          Does anyone know whether this pressing has overcome the deficiencies of the Secretly pressing from 2011? That was badly warped, sounded flat (although some of it down to the sound of the mix I think) and was off center too. Really hope this VMP betters it, then I'll take the plunge.

            This album sounds killer - still available at VMP's website. Get it while you can!
