    Have absolutely no issues with this vinyl at all!
    Sounds absolutely beautiful, and is one of my all-time favourite albums (Europe pressing).

      It seems this pressing is quite polarising. I hadn’t listened to it for some time and after seeing the mass negative reviews I felt it would be time to revisit it.

      I can’t agree with the people saying this is a noisy, muddy mess. Quite the contrary. It sounds delicate and offers an impressive dynamic in my opinion.

      I’m wondering if there’s different variants of this pressing where some sound worse than others because this is by no means my worst sounding record. It’s actually pleasant to listen to.

      My copy came with the lyric booklet, but without the 12” insert and my front cover is noticeably more cropped than the image here. One of the leaves even rolls off under the cover.

        Quite simply the worst fucking pressing you will ever hear. Imagine you lent a vinyl record to a Dog. This dog then picks it up with its saliva dripping mouth and runs around the park, drops it in the mud and his Doggy pal comes along and takes a shit on it, then tries to bury it with his back legs. That Dog shit ridden vinyl would still sound better than this….

          It’s like the neighbor is playing it and I listen to it through the wall….also the digital code wasn’t included.

            The one record in my collection that’s completely unlistenable. Terrible pressing.

              One of those records that can put you off buying vinyl. I've owned it from new and barely played it because it sounds so dirty. But,I forget this clean it and put it on once a year or so. I think it is getting better as I clean it every time I play it and the stylus is filthy after each playing so probably dragging cr*p out of the grooves. Maybe a few plays with me cheaper needle will help.

                Picked this up second-hand but like brand new - super clean vinyl, looked unplayed. Now the sound quality is another story - truly horrific .. it's like listening to it from another room with the door closed, it is that bad. What a shame for such a great album.

                  I guess I got lucky as well! I don't have any complaints, in fact I like the sound of the one I have very much!
                  It sounds very good, more than good at times
                  Edit: Actually it sounds very good as a whole.
                  The already interesting production shines wide and through in a weird but very dynamic and beautiful way, as clearly as this album should

                      I got mine as a gift yesterday, everything is fine, good sound, good pressing, nothing to complain...and I have a real big collection, so there is much to compare it. Maybe I am just lucky? Nice music btw, worth listen.
