    As usual with these official "fish people" reissues, the sound is almost perfect and the color of the LP gorgeous !!
    No pops or cracks and a very clear clean sound during the entire listen.
    The smokey grey disc is very elegant and beautiful. I can't recommended it enough, superb way to discover Kate Bush's musical legacy !!

      Another wonderful Record Industry job making these KB reissues even more spectacular. This is my 4th one of the coloured variants and im 4 for 4. They all play silent and nigh flat. They can seem abit steep but i managed 20% off by waiting for an Ebay code and they cost me £30 each which is fine by me given how high quality the whole packagings are.

        Another excellent, flawless pressing. I wasn’t happy with the high price of most titles in this series of reissues but am starting to change my mind. They are actually living up to Bush’s claims that they are “the definitive versions” and when they’re this good when so many other highly priced titles are full of crackle that can’t be cleaned away, I guess I’m happy to pay the price.

          Very bad press. Clicks all over the lp. It's impossible to listen to this. I ordered it twice. This publication is poorly printed and very noisy.

            Amazing pressing. Such good quality in the packaging and anti-static inner sleeve. The record sounds phenomenal. The OBI strip reminds me of the OBI strip on the Japanese pressing. Adds such a nice touch.

                Great pressing (at least my copy is), flat and centred. Didn't hear a single pop or crackle, even on lead-ins and between tracks. Colour is base dark grey, with darker grey/black fine wisps/marbling. Look very moody - and comes in a black poly-lined die-cut paper inner, which was a nice touch. Not that keen on the Fish people logo (it's better than the earlier version though), but it's muted colour means it doesn't jar with the vinyl itself. All in all very nice - I got mine from Rough Trade in the UK, via eBay (they were having a Black Friday related 20% off on that site), so at the time was under £32 inc UK shipping. Well chuffed!
