    Very good sounding pressing of this album. Sufficiently prominent but not overpowering bass, if that's a concern of anyone. I have no doubts that an OG UK is the best pressing, but that one doesn't have the cartoons of the band appearing in the insert here :)

      2+ years late to this thread but wanted you to know that my copy is pristine and has no stain anywhere.
      Owned since new and have kept it that way.
      Agreed that this is one of the better pressings of this album.

        It would appear that virtually every copy of this listed for sale notes that it has “stains” on the cover. My copy has this as well, I always thought the original owner spilled coffee on it. But it appears this run had an issue with the glue sealing the printed paper to the card stock. I’m bored, something to waste 5 minutes asking. Post a note if your outer sleeve does not have a spatter stain. Album sounds great, would recommend it if you have a beat up copy you want to replace.

          No issues with the low-end of this pressing. I've only heard rips of the OG UK pressing, so I can't fairly compare the two, but this sounds great to my ears.
