Reviews
- Has anyone compared this pressing sound quality with the original first UK issue on Virgin? I have the original and wonder if this could possibly be an improvement.... although it is hard believe since that Virgin pressing is amazing. But perhaps Ape House are on their game and did an exceptional job.
Wow.! This 2019 pressing has more punch than Mike Tyson. Terrific bottom end.. it sounds absolutely fantastic. My only gripe with this release (as well as the 2019 "Psonic Psunspot") is that the lovely psychedelic inner sleeves have been replaced with a cheap-looking sleeve advertising more XTC albums from Ape. Looks nowhere near as cool as the psychedelic swirl inners from the inferior 2010 pressings.
