      Honestly, this sounds a little brighter and fuller than my OG copy. So many ppl nitpick and make a fuss out of this pressing vs that pressing; but at the end of the day any sonic nuances are pretty much negligible if you play it on a decent system. It's like a car speeding by you at 98 MPH vs 100 MPH. Without a speed gun, tell me which one is really faster?Honestly, these 2015? , 180g, back to black IMPULSE reissues sound and look great. The only reason ppl turn their nose up at them is because they aren't and were not marketed with a bunch of BS audiophile snake oil gimmicks. Don't let snobbery prevent you from owning good music at a good price. Believe it or not some of them sounds better than the OG's and as good as more expensive "audiophile" pressings.

        Not reccomended especially at the current price.
        Wait for the AcousticSounds or get an original because with this caliber of music you need the good quality for it to shine, and this masterpiece deserves that.

        Not recommended and really overpriced.

          Excellent value for money when it was released. Full, dynamic sound and quiet. Edit: I think it's unhelpful to post comments relating to the pressing if you haven’t actually listened to it.

            Pretty "eh" reissue, I guess I have to hunt down an og pressing instead.

              Can anyone comment on the sound quality of this Back To Black reissue? I know they have a patchy reputation. I saw a sealed copy of this up close and immediately noticed that the cover art seemed shoddily reproduced, blurry colours etc.
