Pink Floyd – Live At Pompeii

I was very unlucky to have gotten an album where the side 1 has very loud noise at the beginning of track 1 and then occasional crackling sounds all over side 1. It is incredible that such horrible quality is being put on the market. Where is QC?? I was so stupid not to have asked for a receipt when I bought the record at HIGHEND hifi fair in Munich on 15 May 2025.

Has anyone experienced similar quality issues with his/her copy?

Finally an official version! German pressing sounds incredible! A true time machine…

I'll bet some dough that this is a euro press with a Japanese obi slapped on just like the 2018 Animals remix

No issues at all with this Netherlands pressing, only criticism was that the vinyl was not a slip sleeve, easy fix. I also have the so called Japanese release, assuming this will be the US pressing, will take a look when I get around to cracking it open.

My first pressing arrived warped, so I did send it back. My second copy is pretty much flawless. Some very faint stripes on on record 2, but the sound of both is perfect and clean. Great record.

I am fortunate to have a good copy. My hype sticker ends with S1 so this listing is correct for me. Visually the vinyl is not pristine. I see a few scuffs and marks. Audibly there is occasional faint surface noise only noticeable between songs and during the quiet parts. I feel it is a little but more noticeable than it would be but this record requires one to turn up the volume higher than usual. None of that is a problem. The pressing in my opinion is fantastic. It just sounds really good on my system. I love having new versions of pink floyd songs that I have listened to many, many times over the years.

MILES. ABBEY ROAD 1/2 SPEED is like your fav food microwaved to shit

why does abbey road refuse to make stuff analog ? was the beatles mono box not reason enough ?

Where did the drum kick go on Careful With That Axe Eugene?
Guess I will have to ask Steven Wilson for a new remix repaired version...

Unfortunately my EU pressing seems as flawed as the US version. Lots of scratches, scuffs and marks straight out the sleeve and a mark in Echoes which caused a loud knocking for quite a few rotations. Cleaned with a Spincare and no real difference due to the poor quality pressing. One of the lowest quality records I have bought, new or old, in some considerable time. Currently awaiting a replacement as returned the first due to substandard quality.
