Really noisy. Lot of hum and thumping sounds between tracks and at low parts of songs. And no, it’s not my “rig”. This release is not audiophile at all.

Had it and listened to it many times over the years. Got rid of it recently because i still have the original lp. Because i can compare the two - the original far outweighs this reissue. By far.

I beg to differ on everyone's opinion about this pressing. Mine is quiet, sounds really good and with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes (might not apply all the time) people tend to blame the sound of an album when they do not realize its their rig that might be the problem. You do not need a $10,000 rig to tell, just a good pair of ears and a decent stereo and phono stage. Check your rig before judging about the sound quality of a reissue. This one sounds excellent.

My copy doesn't have the "Back In Black" sticker, bought and sourced from Europe and has no problems whatsoever. The copy was bought in 2016. Side B reveals the records to be the "variant 1". Can anyone confirm which variant was the faulty one?

Does anyone knows if there's a difference in sound quality between the US and Europe versions of the B0011697-01 release? The only difference I have been able to find is the Back to Black sticker.

If I'm not mistaken, Trent Reznor reacted on Twitter or somewhere when this version was released saying that he was not behind this reissue. It sounded like if he didn't want us to buy it. Someone remembers this?

Not sure if this pressing just sounds rough, or if the album just sounds that way normally. Haven't spent enough time listening to a digital version to compare. Also looking into wether or not Closer ended up being pressed or mixed at a slightly different speed than the original. Something about it sounded off.

Bought this same version twice. With first purchase thought it was just a scratch on an otherwise dynamic and beautiful vinyl recording. Both versions purchased on Discogs from two unrelated stores in separate parts of the country. The song 'Hurt' skips and often stops.
Bought & received today, 2nd copy... Identical problem! I'll keep it after this, great song but I have it on digital. Sad, but makes this version unusual.... Surely I'm not the only?

I don't know if I got a bad print, but I have this back to black version, and it sounds amazing except for side B. Side B is bad. It pops loss a lot. I've read so many good things about this version, so maybe I will pick another up and compare, but my side B is really bad.

Anyone else experience these issues?
