My version is defenitly 200 grams.
Are there 180 and 200 grams variations? or is the 180 gram a wrong entry?

This was disappointing to listen to the first time, as my first new purchase getting back into vinyl after a 20 year hiatus. For an album I know was so carefully produced, this reissue sounds flat and dull to my very fussy ears. Not exactly bad but not alive either like it should do. I will be searching out a nm 1st pressing of this album, as this one doesn’t cut it for me unfortunately.

Overall I would say this is a good pressing, it could be better though. There is a bit of static crackle here and there but the sound is very good. On first inspection of the vinyl I noticed some alarming marks through both sides, mainly on A side, but thankfully they have no consequences on the audio.

Excellent sonics, they hit this one out the park on mastering. BUT mine had a slight warp, jeez 'Back to black' get your act together, often there's an issue and just as often not. This is a very quiet record with lots of detail and punch, superb.

Bought it used, cleaned on Audiodesk.clean and quiet, no noise. Enjoy the sound of this pressing. While i dont know other versions of this album, it sounds awesome and dynamic.
