Reviews
Just picked this up from HMV and it sounds great to my ears through my fairly low budget (not to me!) system…Project Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2M Red cart TT, Marantz PM6007 amp and Wharfedale Diamond speakers. Vocals clear as a bell, no pops or skips…bass and guitars punchy. This pressing is very good indeed.
Love the orange vinyl too!
Just ordered a copy from HMV for 25 quid. Just curious as to why if limited to 5000, why this hasn't sold out. 5000 isn't a lot globally- I have a copy of this with all the same runout and details etc, however mine is Black vinyl not Orange. Does anyone know of this or have the same?
Great sound, little surface noise on my copy and no skips. Probably just needs another clean or two! The orange translucent color is a nice touch. Purchased my copy at Shuga Records in Chicago
Currently under 30 quid on Amazon... with reviews of it skipping and being defective. Love the record and want a copy but is this one to avoid? Any advice appreciated- In the US this is available at Barnes and Noble.
I would pick it up Optimal did a fine job on the pressing.
I can't comment on the mastering since this is the first time I have ever listened to it. 
I dont know if its just mine but it sounds very flat and the voice is quite distorted. I dont know what to think honestly. It probably depend on the turntable but i do not have this issue with other (black) vinyls I own for example. I'd like to purchase a different version of it and make a comparison.- This pressing is a significant improvement over the 2012 reissue. John Davis of Metropolis, who cut the vinyl, sadly passed away in September.
Very happy with this pressing, sound great, good dynamics, balanced, punchy and the packaging and color is really nice! Top notch!
Really nice sounding pressing, compared to the original CD a lot more range especially in the bass. Lovely orange colour as well.
