Reviews
Sounds great, little surface noise, and the mixing is excellent. I think it could have done without some of the corny interviews printed inside the gatefold, and the printing on the innersleeve to appear like the master copy is poorly printed/looks a bit pixelated, but the actual record sounds awesome. I'd recommend this pressing - seems that there is some deliberation on who actually pressed this version. I purchased my copy in April 2023 for reference.
I agree that this is a newer pressing that I own as the label is different. There were a few markings on this that made me think it was defective before I played it but two play tests went smoothly enough :)- Think there is a 2022 pressing, as when I scan the barcode this release comes up, my copy has the same jacket but runout codes and labels are different.
S-97895 = Pressed at RAINBO = GARBAGE highly recommended to AVOID.
