Disappointing pressing. Crackle on first track is very distracting. Sound seems distorted and sibilant at times. Clicks and pops throughout.

I have the "Records pressed in Thornbury, Australia by Program Records" Red coloured vinyl variant. No listing for that release yet. The Aussie pressing is flawless. Perfect pressing. No noise, flat, dynamic. Sleeves and printing are also top-notch.

Anyone got a little review of the sound of this pressing?
daneelj76 May 13, 2023
Very nice pressing. Tiny, tiny bit of surface noise after a wet wash, nothing worth complaining about. Much better instrument separation than digital versions. Very happy to have this. One of those pressings that just wants to be played very loud. Sorry neighbours.

Non-fill issues on first track side B. Otherwise decent pressing.

Superb album itself, but bad quality pressing. First two tracks on each side have a loud popping throughout. The rest of the album is clear.

There's some very minor ticks near to the start of side one, but side two is pretty much silent.
BennoV May 4, 2023
My pressing is flat without major pops, clicks or whatever. Would rate the dynamics 4/5, could be way worse.

The first time I played it, the record slid but then I gave my stylus and the record and cleaning and it now sounds fantastic. No issues here.
