My copy also comes sith a small poster (Kurt playing the guitar backed with picture sleeve lp ad)

Did anyone else experience a bad pressing with this version? I can't tell if it's the pressing or the mastering, but it sounds awful! Vocals are barely present and a few tracks are a muddled mess of sound.
