    Among all the 7 variants listed here I couldn't find the one that I have – with initial number 22 in all the runouts (MPO 22...). I guess I should have the 2022 repress considering the number stands for the year of re-release.
    The sound is OK, a little bit too bassy for my taste, with just a few moderate pops here and there.

      My copy must be this, as it seems to be the only one with the same hype sticker, but the MPO press code starts with 20 (188515/6) which is a slightly larger number than colour variants which came out upon release. Slightly warped, but decent sounding copy.

        My white copy is horrible, really, i can't listen it. When i see the comment here, i will not test a black copy, sad :(

          Mine came slightly warped but it doesn't affect the sound.

            One of the dirtiest records I've ever bought. It requires a deep cleaning before playing. After 30 minutes of staring at the discogs pages for this release and 21630100 I still cannot find any differences between them except the matrixes, but the fact that there are already 5 runout variants for this doesn't help much. Anyway, I'm going by the fact that almost everybody here got a a very dirty copy and logging this one.

              Pretty decent pressing but with a detectable noise floor, and quite a bunch of ticks here and there during the silent parts. Counted one pop and a brief zip of non-fill too. Though by reading the comments for the black version I guess almost every pressing is more or less like this, its not bad to the point youd have to return it anyway. Mastering is alright too.

                    Looking at some of these reviews, I guess I was one of the lucky ones? My black copy was clean out of the sleeve and plays dead quiet.

                      Some background noise on this pressing, most noticeable on Track X, but I don’t mind it too much. Record sounds great otherwise.
