As i'm writing, i'm listening this red vinyl for the first time since its purchase this summer, with my new ortofon 2M Bronze cartrige.
WOW. I can hear nuisance and details i couldn't even imagine.
So no, i don't agree at all with fellow collectors who say that the pressing quality is crap.

This is the release that officially renders the term 'Limited Edition' meaningless. Or perhaps it was Moby's 2016 reissue of Play.

I do not agree with some comments here. While the art work and design is a great idea (and will attract the hipsters who never actually hear their records), the pressing quality is crap. My copy was sealed, but has a lot of pops, a long scuff/scratch over A1 and A2, and several little punctures/dents that are caused when the temperature of the vinyl is not correct. Sound quality is like the other Rhino re-issues. I recommend saving the money for yet another repress and instead buy a decent copy of the Factory original or a late 80s repress.

According to Warner Music UK customer service:

"The limited edition refers to the time frame the item was available to order online.
Unfortunately we have not been provided with a specific number of this item that have been produced."

That's what they told me when I asked. I hope this helps.

To put it in perspective, the standard 2015 reissue has sold about 30,000 copies in 4 years.
