    My copy has nothing printed on the label on either side, just the WB logos. Kinda cool

      Anyone else have an issue with this pressing? I have two of these pressings and they both have the same issue, there's some nasty distortion and a few skips on the first track, and it's in the same places on both copies (both VG++ as well so that isn't the issue)
