The album itself is great. The sound is excellent, no crackling. Good remastering. It's also flat, but covered with extensive surface scratches on both sides. I don't know if this actually happened because of the simple paper sleeves. The good news is that you can't hear any noise. -
The inner envelope has the band photo and lyrics printed. It is made of paper with no antistatic foil inside. After opening, the record had a huge static adhesion, it was extremely difficult to take the record out of the envelope, so there are lots of small paper scratches on the vinyl surface. And the record needed immediate washing before its first replay. Doesn't look good, seems to be a 40 years old... But, on the turntable there are no other sounds but the music. No complains regarding sound quality. The vinyl is dead quiet. No distortions, skipping, clicks or whatever. So it is real shame - you buy an audiophile 180g edition for 20 euros and they are skimping 10 cents for antistatic envelope...

The pressing I just received has this barcode, but it didnt have an mp3 code.
I was impressed with side 1 and then I start side 2 and the needle shakes all over the place so erratically it starts bouncing back and forth as if theres skips and loops all over. I've never experienced this with any other record and I couldn't see any scratches up close, anyone else experience this?
