I agree with the other posts- this pressing sounds outstanding.
It should be noted that this version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is edited. I can’t confirm if it is the radio edit version, but it is about 30 seconds shorter than the album version.

Not sure why this is listed as an unofficial release. It’s a legit promo.

This still flies beneath radar for some. Did an A/B testing including the US & Eur 1st among others,and this one nails them all.Owing to the format (12",45rpm) the ultimate studio version of SLTS.Unsured dynamics and overall sound quality.

Pretty good song from a mostly unknown band. Anyone else ever get into them?

The pictures do reveal the misprint. The same label (side B "Even In His Youth") is present on both sides of the disc, but comparison of the appearance of the grooves shows there are different songs pressed on each side. One side is visibly shorter, Even In His Youth at 3:03 is much shorter than Smells Like Teen Spirit at 4:30.
