My pressing has got a very nice sound, although it does have some pop and crackles during the quiet part of Hannah Hunt.

Bad pressing, beware people. Side A has some crackling noise, to the point of the needle getting stuck during A5 in my copy.

I have the white vinyl, bought in the UK, including CD and poster, but the cat# doesn't have the X at the end. Plus no sticker or anything. Sounds fine.

i also own the white vinyl. very bad pressing, noise problems in side A. Song A1 make jumps the needle. All over the side A there's a click pop noise who repeats periodically. Im tired of bad pressings.

Grabbed a copy of the white vinyl. To this nutty audiophile, this pressing sounds very good.

beware pressing fault! On second copy- noise on side a, sounds like a scratch. Shop said they'd had lots of similar reports..
