      Where are all these new sealed copies turning up from in the USA? Very fishy.

        Recommending this pressing to everyone trying to figure out which pressing to get of "Kala" - it's sublime: clear, just the right amount of bass, dynamic and no surface noise / pops clicks detected.

        I read the reviews over the two US pressings of this record (the Intersecope pressings: OG & misprinted one) - and I would avoid buying them.

        (The packaging is also neat and fits the records perfectly even though it is not a gatefold)

          Honestly, the pressing is good, quality is good...but the music or creativity is completley lacking...bad, bad, bad...avoid at all costs...

            No problems with my copy and like Arular, it has a loud inherent volume (very well mastered for the format). I like it.
