This is it! The holy grail! I need to thank the previous reviewers for pointing me in the right direction. After decades of going through noisy UK pressings, I finally found a clean pressing without clicks or pops, sounding absolutely glorious.

This is NOT the real Pink Floyd but an average David Gilmour solo album.

i have an italian first pressing and when I first listened to both records start to finish I immediately realized how the original mix and this one are totally night and day! the OG mix is more bright and open, with the voice that's so much in your face and on a whole different layer than the instruments, definitely a choice of mixing of that time to make the songs more enjoyable for those who listened to AM Radios.
This remix on the other hand is compressed as hell with lots of bass and zero 3D separation, I really can't choose a favourite because I find both too exaggerated in their own ways.

The pressing by the way is great but i found some loud pops during One Slip and in general it's not the quietest record i ever heard.

Edit: I sold my first pressing! now this is my go-to copy, if you manage the bass it's pretty enjoyable in my opinion and I also I was tired of the IGD during the solo of On The Turning Away

Uhm ... Mixed feelings about this version ... Some tracks seem better than the original (On The Turning Away, Sorrow), other worse (Learning To Fly, A New Machine). The bass are also a little shy for my tastes.

Excelente pressing!!! All arround, a must have, even if the álbum was recorded in digital, and the drums/bass in analogue whit Dolby S R noice reduction, is an inpressive sound, and is a fine álbum. Get it in good price
