    What weight is everyone's copy? Mine matches this one exactly between the sticker, matrix run out, etc. But it feels heavier than 120-140g which can't be right?

      Coldplay’s best album. ‘Amsterdam’ and ‘A Rush of Blood to the Head’ are some of the most underrated Coldplay songs and a beautiful bookend to a beautiful album. Every time ‘Clocks’ hits is like the first time. ‘Green Eyes’ and ‘The Scientist’ too, like goddamn what a great album.

        Watch out kids! 90% (or more) of the sellers here are scammers that are listing later cheap reissue as first press!! Don't be fooled and ask for the exact matrix/runout.

          Sorry... maybe not like a fatal disaster, but very weak.. :(

              Interesting comments re quality, I have two copies ( one a extra present) , both show weird surface discolouration , almost like water marking. I have a record cleaning machine and have used L'Art du Son cleaner, thinking it may be pressing residue, but it is still evident.

                Had to file and mark the center hole in order to correct the pressing which is off center. That was absolutely worth the effort, as the record sounds fantastic. Very pleased.

                  As far as I can judge it the pressing is very quiet. I cant really judge the LP/CD differences.

                  Sounds good and analog (enough) to me (considering its recorded through digital gear).
