    Just pure class, such a distinct sound. Brilliant. Really nice jazzy influence in places, great vocals, good memories of the 90's!

      This album is just meant to listen to on vinyl - on the cd version the electric piano on Roads sounds 'red hot', making the cones flabber. On the 1994 vinyl version it sounds perfect, just like the album in whole. A musical landmark, a timeless classic.

          I picked up an orange colored vinyl pressing recently. Has anyone else seen that, can’t find any info on its release.

            Definite, 5 star copy!!! Rich and full on the bass which later copies lack.

              I’m reviewing the 1994 DFI pressing.

              This is such an amazing pressing. The 1997 MPO of the Self titled album is awful in comparison. This has such rich depth. We’re fortunate as fans this got such a good pressing. The 90s did produce some great sounding vinyl.

              This is well worth the money for a serious fan with a good stereo.

                    Were the pressings sold by pop.market that were listed as sealed on this listing actually the first pressings? I refuse to believe that an iconic album such as this, released in a time when vinyl was on the way out would have an early vinyl press be only worth around CA$25 sealed. Given that it's hard to tell the difference between the 2008 reissue and this without opening the packaging probably explains why this happened.

                      This is a simply stunning and very moving collection of songs. Nice and loud.
