All seems good on my copy . no Q/C defects . the sound quality is good , clean mastering . its been awhile since i listen to aphex twin as i prefer his older ambient stuffs but the collapse EP is good with the melodic elements and richard signature idm drums

No right channel defect on mine. Sounds great. Great. Great.

The later pressings sound amazing, must have been a problem they ironed out.
sunheadbowed Jul 23, 2020
I have no problems with my copy either. There is an extremely faint crackle on Side A if you’re listening on headphones but inaudible otherwise.

Didn't even know there was a know pressing issue with the record. Double checked mine to see if I oversaw it but thankfully it plays as expected. I remember when the Bleep website crashed because everyone was trying to preorder this.

yea this isnt a limited pressing it is unlimited lmao

I'm still laughing at a) all the pressing defect on such an anticipated release b) the "limited edition" nature of it

My copy sounds great, I guess maybe I'm one of the lucky ones?
edit a month later: When I listen with my headphones there's extremely faint surface noise on the right channel on side b but nothing overbearing and definitely not noticeable through my speakers.

My copy does have the crackling on the right channel, but it is incredibly minor and only seems to be on side two. other than that, this is a pretty good sounding record.
