    My copy plays perfect on my pro-ject x1 via Dali spektor 1 speakers.

      Nice pressing. Very quiet on soft tracks and in between tracks. Great bottom end that the original Sire LP did not have. "Hideaway" and "Don't Dance" stand out as the go to system demo tracks for me.
      This would be great as a two LP pressing with the bonus tracks from the deluxe CD edition.

        After reading the comments on here I slapped the 2016 issues that I have on the turntable to see if mine were bad too. I have all the original issues of the vinyl from when they were released in the 80's and the 30th Ann issues that I have sound super great. I wonder if they did two sets of pressings as the ones I have in the the US are pristine with no surface noise and great audio.

          Does this pressing retain the die-cut sleeve?

          At least three more...

            Really bad transfer. Have 2 copies of this 2016 vinyl reissue and both bad. Apart from the appalling sound on all tracks the song "Sexuality" is at the wrong pitch. If you have pitch control on your turntable adjust it to + 03.4 for this song. Wonderland and the Innocents vinyl reissues in this 2016 campaign also dire.
