    Just make sure that it has the listed matrices and not any additional numbers and letters such as A4/B4. Should have in the dead wax:
    Matrix / Runout: POLS-272-A
    Matrix / Runout: POLS-272-B

      This is the best-sounding "Arrival" ever !!! Sparkling and very clean sounding, very detailled...simply stunning !!! There is no other vinyl or CD version available which presents this album in such a perfect sound !!!
