Absolute perfection. Everything from the sleeve art work to the properly epic finale with properly bonkers title. Remixes a gusto. More was still to come. Bloody brilliant -

Perfect in every way. Dead quiet, flat as the earth🤣. Heavy bass! I once had the CD but this sounds much better. Don't hesitate, buy!
(before playing I gave the record a wash on my Okki Nokki, I always do that with new and second hand records) -
Really could do with a replacement sleeve for mine, bought online not long after RSD and received a bit of rough handed treatment in the post, so.....if by some miracle anyone has a spare sleeve, gimmie a shout please. Thanks -
I got this(on the stregnth of the Cover),Erasure Oh LAmour (Withdrawn Thomas the tank engine sleeve), and A Promo copy of Wipeout 2097 OST for £1 in Plymouth 20..10 ish on the same day. the Greatest day ever.

Since upgrading my cart from a 2M Blue to a Hana ML, I have to say my appreciation for the sonics on this album has grown. I would now categorize this as an audiophile pressing, whereas earlier, I thought this pressing lacked dynamics. Hard to now what I was hearing then. Dynamics are stellar. Oh yeah, and what an album! -
Presumably the white label version is rarer as it has never been sold on here.

I found a cheap used copy and was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. This pressing sounds as pulsing and hypnotic as ever with a minimum of surface noise. It's a marvel of vinyl engineering that they managed to fit so much music on each side without it sounding like a 'K-Tel 20 Greatest Disco Hits' record. All in all, a fantastic listening experience of a timeless feat of electronic pioneering. -

Sounds good to me. As others have said, not the quietest records, but just adds to the experience. Overall, warm, lush sounding with good separation and sound stage. Sounds great on headphones. Paid £20, so really happy. I don't personally like gatefold, would rather have single outer and nice printed inners, which this has. -

I grew up with the CD! My copy of this is stored on the shelf back to back with https://discogs.versitio.com/release/119427-The-Orb-Perpetual-Dawn in the same outer sleeve. Perpetual Dawn (Solar Youth Mix) is the version I first heard on alternative radio, and Star 6 & 7 8 9 (Phase II) is the version I grew up with. All 3 vinyls together make up the complete thought of the album as I it.
This double LP also definitely sounds great. I'm hearing detail and nuance I'd never noticed before.

Must have gotten lucky. Wax is flat, quiet, and sounds on point. Was kind of apprehensive due to the 20min+ per side and expectations were low. As always, cleaned upon receiving, before initial spin and TT in tolerance.
