      195 gr weight massive vynil !!! Sounds great. No skips, no surface noise. . Cristal clear vynil looks great. 10/10 copy. The music in it speaks for itself

        I've never heard an original but my copy of the clear 2020 reissue is quiet, clean and sounds fantastic to my ears.

          This sounds incredible !!! Remastering is almost perfect in every way. Worth the money spent, highly recommend.

            Fantastique pressage! J'ai l'impression de re découvrir les bandes analogiques en studio.
            Le LP en édition limitée vient sublimer cette expérience. A saisir avant que les prix ne s'envolent. Collector

              I normally go for originals (like my original Unknown Pleasures), but based on some of the reviews, I went for this copy. No skipping. No surface noise. I don't have the original to compare it against, but it sounds great to me. Didn't even require any cleaning. The clear vinyl also looks pretty trippy. Looks like it's going back and forth vs, just counterclockwise, Sound quality is #1 by a mile, but I do enjoy a beautiful record spinning on my turntable. (Playing on a Fluance RT85N)

                This pressing sounds great. One of the best in my collection. Really captures the feel of the original.

                  Best sounding record I have, it is so absent of surface noise that when you turn it up (and I mean turn it up!!!) you get the tape hiss in all it's warm glory!

                      Given this is a 2007 remaster, is there any sound difference between this edition and the 2xCD edition of that year,? Thanks!
