I've listened to this album for many years on CD, and tape, this is the best I've ever heard it - played it for a group of friends and they were all impressed, really brings these songs alive, very dynamic and detailed, excellent -
Pressing fucking slaps. Way louder than I thought it would be, without sacrificing the precision of the production. Great deal at current prices. -
Edited one year agoProbably the Smiths weakest collection of songs, this is still a really great album. The band is as tight as ever and the production choices feel perfect across the board. Really impressed by how good this pressing sounds, dead silent from start to finish and not a single click or pop outside of the deadwax

Mine is:
Matrix / Runout (Variant 3, Runout Groove Side A): 1-25649-A-SR2 1-1 SRC
Matrix / Runout (Variant 3, Runout Groove Side B): 1-25649-B-SR1 1-1 SRC
Bought (if i'm not mistaken) at Bleecker Records (old location) for $9.99. Surprised when I saw it considering it's a strong Smiths album. In good condition, sounds great.
