The aforementioned review about the extra minute of music on the song 10 Lovers is legit. Danger Mouse interlude is great. Wonder why they cut it off the 1st pressings of vinyl and all CD releases? Great headphone album. One of the few masterpieces of the 21st Century.

Absolutely perfect in every way, flat sound, no clics, no white noise.

By the way, 10 lovers cut in LP is one minute longer than 10 lovers cut in CD!!! =D!!

I like looking at the cover of this record, it makes my brain feel all weird and squishy.

Really nice sound quality on this one. And no crackle on A1 as others have mentioned - dead silent noise floor here. Nice wide stereo separation and the mix is good but I do feel it needs a small amount of treble boost to sound "right" to my ears in my setup - I'd rather have to remove some than add some but this is a tiny complaint at best. I wish every album was pressed this well. I think it's also worth noting that this doesn't feel as light/thin as a 140 gram, but also doesn't feel as heavy as a 180 - it seems somewhere in the middle. Anyway, this one is a 9 out of 10 for me especially considering that it was only $15 with free shipping from Amazon.

My vinyl, 542300-1, has a revolving surface sound *crackle* at the beginning of song 1, Weight of Love. Damn this song is unreal. Dan's guitar solo at the end-- brilliant af. But I digress. Anyone else have that surface crack at the start of Weight of Love?

I would love to hear about the sound quality of this one.

I picked up a Grey pin with black text and an "Album In Stores Now" poster too.

Ktrump5 - I got a The Black Keys Turn Blue bag with the purchase of the CD, and the pin with the LP. The slip mat came with my Test Press.

Does anyone else see what looks like hidden tracks pressed into the label?
