Mine has a gold promo stamp and in NM condition is a great sounding pressing IMO. Clear and sharp with better dynamics and better sounding disc than my 2016 Ape House 180gm reissue. Would like to hear a NM UK 1st press to compare it to.

I have the original US pressing - inclusive of Mermaid Smiled (vs. Dear God) and agree it sounds great. Also was able to get Mr. Partridge himself sign the back cover. It's a prized possession. -
Edited 2 years agobeautiful music, beautiful production. fwiw i gave $15 for my copy which i found in a posh record shop in oakland. although it's the only vinyl copy i've heard, i've also got the apehouse pressing from 2018 and they aren't miles apart. it's dead silent between tracks and i don't think my copy is especially minty or anything.
