    This is probably the best Kid A repress. No issues whatsoever

      This pressing is outstanding!
      Much better than my old 10" Capitol pressing from 2008.

        A little loud maybe, but par for the course for music from this era.

        Overall sounds pretty good and certainly a much nicer listen the CD copy. My copy is flat and plays great too.

        Thumbs up 👍

          These XL pressings are incredible. Well balanced, clear, with nary a click or crackle to boot. Highly recommended.

            This is such an entertaining listen. All of the little details and textures really shine.

            A really wonderful sounding pressing.

              Absolutely stunning pressing, audiophile quality on par with Blue Note records. Not a single crackle or pop, and the mastering is perfect. Highly recommended!

                This one sounds nearly identical to the 2016 Europe I heard, just without the locked groove. Got sent to me listed as a 2016 which is unfortunate but at least its not like the OK computer where the 2020 sounds a bit worse than the 2016 copies

                  My pressing is flawless. No pops or clicks and clean record. Great sounding record. Highly recommend.
