Black Country, New Road – For The First Time

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.

Great album, lackluster pressing. It was very dirty right out the sleeve. The noise is especially noticeable during the intro of Sunglasses.

No issues with my copy - no hiss for example. Lovely booklet much appreciated too - with an actual decent size font!!
