The vinyl comes in a weird plastic sleeve. Like the poly liner in a sleeve

The records themselves I have no qualms about, sounding excellent with all the punch and dynamics you'd hope for on an album like this. The packaging and quality control however is extremely poor, from the gatefold itself bulging very easily and feeling very weak (as well as being aligned slightly wrong on my copy), to the poster being extremely small as opposed to what you'd hope for, to the label misspellings which (unlike what other comments say) still persist on copies to this day. If all this doesn't bother you and you're just here for sound quality though, this is a great pressing.

one of the greatest of all time. one of my favorite going on 2 decades of listening so far

Great sounding pressing. Everything is well balanced, dynamic, and has a perfect level of sonic clarity for this album. Gatefold is standard but the album art is printed well. Can't comment on the poster because my used copy didn't come with it. The misprinting of "Silver Rocket" as "Silver Rockey" makes me laugh a bit every time I see it and I don't know why. Would highly recommend this pressing, it has me falling in love with this album all over again.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with this for its price. You're paying 25ish bucks for 70 minutes of music on vinyl. That's a steal in today's market no matter how you cut it. Add to that that it actually sounds kinda great and you have yourself a slam dunk product! Highly recommended!

Outstanding pressing. Flat, dynamic, very quiet. Get it.

Set up:
Rega P2, upgraded LP Gear stylus (ATN3600DLXVL)
Into a Yamaha Rn303
Into a pair of Elac UF51’s

Just to get this straight:
There are two different pressings of this reissue, and therefore this release should be split in two. The "A" sticker version (with "Super Remastered" on the sticker) has the mentioned misspellings on Silver Rocket and Eliminator Jr. The "B" sticker version (with "Experimental. Uncompromising. Essential") has no misspellings on these titles and is obviously an upgraded repress of the first 2014 version. I have the "B" version and it is perfect.

There's no doubt that this is the way to listen to this record. This sounds better than my old CD copy and any of my digital files; the bass is richer and mids/highs are clear.

Ordered a copy from Amazon. Had the Rolling Stone hype sticker and no download card. BUT this pressing still sounds incredible.

Very low quality jacket material. Doesn't even feel like a gatefold - just two cheap sleeves that are connected. Doesn't even work properly. Once you open the thing, the sleeves get wavy and want to stay open. Definitely recommend just keeping this in the shrink. Also, "Silver Rocky", and the trilogy being A, B, C - instead of A, B, Z. Pretty poor presentation. Sound is great, but if you care about presentation, the product just feels and looks cheap.
