This is really quiet and clean. I didn't notice any pops or crackles at all. Comes with plain black polylined inner. Liked the starlight effect. Pleased with this one.

I like that each side is by a different artist. Moroder produced (and presumably wrote) side 1. Doldinger side 2 (definite influence on Joe Hisaishi there).

It's been 2 out of 4 so far this RSD. 2 great pressings (this and Dana Gillespie), one so bad I had to return it (Neil Finn LP1 looked like it had been kicked across the factory floor), one with a bit of bearable non-fill (David Sylvian).

Pressing sounds great! Lots of pops tho due to the “confetti,” looking glitter so gets in the way a bit of the whole experience. Very strange and some of the confetti seems to be outside the grooves causing some minor pops

Should this be changed to US and Europe? I got a copy in the US.

Pleasantly surprised at how nice this pressing sounds. Starlight effect is very striking.

The sound quality is stunning, really clear.
I was just expecting the record to be more blue than black with white dots. But thats fine.

Stunning press - sound is incredible throughout. The starlight effect is cool, but not as prominent as I expected prior to buying.

No pops, no cracks with my copy. Beautiful sound, beautiful soundscape.

Soundtrack is great of course, and brings back a lot of memories. The starry effect on the vinyl looks great, but I think it does affect the quality. I'm getting a lot of noticeable pops and cracks even after cleaning.

I looking for the soundtrack to the movie back in the day and somehow stumbled over this "US" rendition. As a German I was quite confused what was going on when I listened to it since most of the music was some really cheesy unfitting synth music and even Doldinger's contributions seemed sometimes like they were changed but can also be that I felt like that because the order is completely all over the place. Luckily there is a German version of this score with pretty much the entirety of Dolgingers score in order and I would listen to this any day over the weird US version.
