Recommendations
Reviews
My copy is definitely from 2004 and has an obnoxious amount of surface noise of the 1st record. So disappointing, but it's been like that since day 1 despite multiple cleanings. Anyone else's copies have this problem? The current pressing has very good reviews, might buy another copy.
How can I spot if it's a 2007 release? I can't see a real difference between this version and the one from 2004.
