    this is an astonishing press! absolutely lovin its nostalgia, the thick feel of the LP jacket, and the brand new tarty smell of its packaging!
    keep the good work up, "United Record Pressing"!

      Off center spindle hole on one of my discs, and slightly warped, but sounds OK, I guess.

        No issues over here, truly incredible sounding album both in mastering and pressing.

          Purchased three copies of this from Barnes & Noble and each was defective with significant warping that made them unplayable.

            This record has significant meaning to me. Pretty great pressing and nice packaging.
