Given that there is only one LP release for this album, it's obvious that there are multiple pressings floating around. I've noticed that sufficient work has gone into clarifying the differences between pressings for F#A# Infinity, but I have not seen the same work done for LYSFLATH. I've gone through countless internet searches and have yet to turn up anything. Does anyone have a lead?

Anybody (preferably in the UK) got a C/D side they could sell me? My copy only came with the first disc and the seller refused to replace it - gutted!

For those curious about the vinyl vs. CD differences, this forum post gives a pretty good rundown: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.256835-Small-Waves-reviews-Godspeed-You-Black-Emperor-F-A-infinity-Vinyl-vs-CD

I think all the differences in peoples copies are due to this being repressed multiple times. I have a copy I bought new in 2000 (probably a first press) and it still sounds amazing after several plays and 16 years. Always has been better and warmer than the cd. Likely with each repress the quality is going down. I only say that because this lp is still and always has been avalible. Constilation will not let top sellers go out of print. Probably a ton of different newer/older pressings floating around.

My copy is fantastic, and with the great price buying directly from Constellation... its an incredibly valuable buy. Well worth it.

My copy has nearly zero surface noise, but all four sides are slightly off-centered. Doesn't really affect the sound but gets on my nerves regardless.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about the sound, mines sounds better than the mp3 without a doubt, very little surface noise and certainly not muddy.

For sound quality you're better off with the digital release. Very narrow, muddy and lacking drive. Get it cheap directly from Constellation, better yet get the CD.
