does anyone know if this pressing has the original version of Not In Love? or if it's the version with Robert Smith on vocals.
Jockepojken Jun 23, 2019
Great Base on this release, clear highs, quiet vinyl. Great pressing.

my copy did not include a poster
bebopchamploo Nov 26, 2014
My copy has a Parental Advisory label on the lower left hand corner of the cover also, but no poster. It came wrapped in plastic brand new, so I don't think the record shop swiped it. But with all the mess-ups related to this pressing, I'm just glad I got A/B & C/D, not B/B & C/D.

Not only did my copy had the B sides pressed on both sides of the first LP, the second LP had the D side on both sides of the second LP. Also, the grooves on second D were pressed in a weird way and the record wont spin/play correctly. I got my copy from amazon and they will send me a new copy pretty soon. I just hope I get a good copy this time. What a letdown!

If anyone has bought a copy with a mispress as such: the B side being pressed on both sides of the first disc, a release has been created for it: Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles

How prevalent is the pressing error in this version? I just got a new copy and sides A and B both have side B tracks on the vinyl. So I have sides B, B, C, D. I'm surprised I haven't found more information about the error other than one guy's Amazon review about his similar experience.
