Recommendations
Reviews
This rating is for this pressing. Its a fantastic lp but this pressing is appalling.
Ive found beatles lps in garage sales with no jackets that are quieter. Get the album.
Avoid this pressing. Terrible
Mine sounds fine save for a couple pops on A1
Side B skips constantly, particularly throughout the entirety of "I Heard You Looking" which is quite painful
A fantastic album and it sounds pretty good, but it is a very noisy pressing this. Unfortunate, but sometimes the crackles are lost underneath the nice noise...- I created a new issue for the GZmedia pressing most commonly found in stores nowadays.
Biggest difference aside from pressing is that there's no "also includes free download of entire album" sticker.

My copy is fairly noisy on side B. Side A is really clear.- Centered, quiet pressing with no skips on this end.
- has an irredeemable skip (backwards) on from a motel 6. horrible job by matador.
