If you can’t get a hold of the British pressing this one will do. A tad thin, but still dynamic. Wishing always sounded funny, recording wise, to me and no exception here. Side two is amazing! Grab one cheap you won’t regret it. -

Japan pressing for this and the debut swirls around my music room. Never heard the DMM. -

Kills my US IG pressing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 very underrated album, most people don’t dig further than their first LO. -
referencing Listen (LP, Album) HIP 4
A brilliant pressing with great gain. Bit too high on the upper frequencies and lacks mid tone and bass. But an expected 80s pressing, could do with an anniversary 180g magenta coloured funky 2023 revamp but I am happy enough with this one for now. -

Does anyone know the reason why this isn't allowed for sale on Discogs? -

Received the CD but was Utterly Upset with the CD I ordered - the one I ordered has 13 songs but what I got was a CD with only 10 songs on it and not the same as playlist d. -

Of all the CD re-releases it's still the original one (Beehive) that is get, all the others mar the sound in one way or the other. -

The scratched out is the "jl8-8013-sb" not the "jl8-8013-sa". -

Can someone tell me if this re-issue is remastered? Or is this another bad Cherry Red reissue?
