Spiritualized®* – Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

I have the same issue - took it from Rasputin Records in San Fransisco 7 years ago and opened it today.

Stickers of the first vinyl are the same on the second vinyl. Gladly the right record! The second vinyl has slight raised spots on both sides, like small bubbles, which are unfortunately also audible.

Have slightly different runouts on mine so maybe a 3rd variant for this? Everything else is a match.
e.g. side A 88697 66131-RE-1 AS 766613-RE-1

Vinyl Me Please have announced a blue vinyl 2LP edition from the original masters as their September 2020 Record Of The Month.

I ordered this LP 2 times in 2 different stores, and both times the albums came with 2 LP2, without the first one. I don't recommend anyone this pressing.

Yeah, this pressing certainly leaves a lot to be desired. The high frequencies sounds fairly tinny, the mix is muddled and the bass is flat. Not consistently terrible but it’s very noticeable at times. I got a mint copy used for $19 usd, and I’m still happy with it.

One weird thing, the labels on the first record are swapped, the A side has the B side label and vise versa.

My side B is Leonard Cohen's last record's side B

If you're on a budget this pressing is fine. I'm not an audiophile (hence the budget), so while I think the bad reviews are valid I don't notice a huge lack in quality. For $24 (what I got it for in a record store), it's fine.

Just compared this pressing to an original and it's a shambles. Save your money people for a proper version. This is a mug off.

I'm confused by this pressing. It's strange - I actually can't think of something WRONG with the pressing in particular, but it just sounds very thin and not detailed, like an almost-correct replica of the original.

To me it sounds like a bad source has been pressed on what is very good and quiet vinyl. Perhaps a CD source, as said before, which would explain the treble being too high and bass too low. I also noticed some distortion on the centre channel on All of My Thoughts and generally pretty terrible sound on Side C.

Cop Shoot Cop..., however, sounded excellent, like it was from a completely different source. The bass was rich and smooth for the first time. Strange.

This pressing sounds horrible, very flat and without dynamics, as mentioned before. The original pressing I had was also unlistenable because of small dots pressed in the vinyl. The only way to hear this great album in good quality on vinyl is the Art Vinyl pressing from 2012; unfotunately, this seems to turn up next to never.
