Anyone know what this is referring to: "Any sonic artifacts present are a product of the original master tape. Attempts to eliminate them would have negatively impacted the integrity of the presentation."

I'm not familiar with the original pressing, but this reissue sounds great. I had to runtime record thru an extensive cleaning process, but now it sounds damn good. I think you'll enjoy this.

Just picked this up. All three discs were stacked between the gatefold. Not pretty.

It should be noted the download files are all brick walled (flat at 0db), what some consider a fall back to the loudness war. Why the band didn't bother to offer full spectrum files is bothersome. But still, the music is incredible.

Thanks for this, Darrell. You need to write a book about your adventures.

I own 8 versions of this LP, 2 UK ad 6 US. The UK RAL-A3/B3 TimTom W-21 is the best sounding version I've found. Great detail, ballsy bass and full dimension sound.

This release is not a dedicated mono release. It's a "Fold-down", meaning, the stereo version was mixed into a mono mix. Ways to tell: on the song The Lantern, there are two district bell sounds, the same as on the stereo release. The true mono... See full review

Are you sure this is a second pressing? I though the un-boxed London labels represented a first pressing, esp. with the Mono release.

There is a much rarer mono version [very] first pressing, hastily withdrawn, which had a different mix of "Tomorrow Never Knows" (known as "remix 11") this has a matrix number on side 2 of XEX 606-1.

Although listed as a repress, the only difference between this and the first issue is the gatefold sleeve. The vinyl Matrix numbers are the same as the first press.

From Wikipedia:

The album cover looks like the simple cover of a bootleg LP of the era and was modelled after The Rolling Stones' Live'r Than You'll Ever Be:[11] it is of plain brown cardboard with "The Who Live At Leeds" printed on it in plain blue... See full review
