take anecdotal accounts of surface noise with a grain of salt...unless youre ultrasonic cleaning thoroughly and consistently, youre going to miss some dust, its inevitable and comes with the territory. even then, something can jump on there off of your sleeve, slipmat, or any number of other surfaces the wax comes near.

my 2020 pressing is absolutely flawless and sounds incredible

Wow. Fantastic. No issues with my copy. Whenever I come home from performing late at night and select a record to chill to, I’m always looking for something like this. Relaxing and yet stimulating to the mind. And way more interesting than minimalism. Vinyl sounds beautiful.

Crackle and pops riddle the B side for me, but as is life. It's all a tragedy!

No issues with my pressing. The inner sleeve is very tight and stiff, though, and so this went straight into a poly liner. Absolutely beautiful music.

Finally tried my luck on a 2017 & a 2020 reissue.
2020 is better QC wise. Way less pop-cracks even though it's still a bit too noisy on A1.
2017 wasn't too bad for me, but those pops were very annoing on the quieter moments.
2020 has a polylined sleeve.
2017 has a tip-on jacket.
WRWTFWW improved (a bit) their game, but it's not flawless so... Pick your poison!

Cut from original analog reels. AAA. And no pops for me.

Unfortunately I didn't read this page in time. Disappointed that my brand new, sealed copy also has a lot of pops and cracks on the b-side. it's really annoying. I'm not a stickler about this kind of stuff, but it detracts a lot from the music so much so I have a really hard time enjoying the record. Don't purchase this

Pops throughout first half of side B here, pretty annoying :( Good pressing other than that.

Excellent pressing. Beautiful sound, quiet, lush. What more can you ask for?

My copy of LP PFLP 006 WRWTFWW019 also very quiet, no pops. Seems I got lucky.
