    My new copy sounds great. Quiet with no surface noise. It is rich and full sounding with a punchy low end. For the price I am very impressed. It is a GZ Media pressing which is a crap shoot for pressing quality. Im not suprised with some of the negative pressing-related comments. My system is really sensitive to any noise and this is a pleasurable listen and demands a quiet pressing.

    System:
    Dynaco ST70 tube amp
    Dynaco PAT 4 pre amp
    Thornes TD 16 MKII turnable with Grado red
    Altec Voice of the Theater speakers

      Luckily, I ended up with a variant 1 pressing that has none of the aforementioned pressing/quality issues. Very clean and quiet.

        My copy is awful, surface noise throughout and no let up. Hit and miss it seems.

          My brand new copy (Runout 88985460171A/B) was also poorly manufactured. Dirty with surface noise on both sides, with Side B being the worst. There was a visible scratch directly out of the sleeve on Side B that caused a repetitive pop. The center hole was too small for the spindle. Just a dreadful pressing.

            I love this album so much, but I've evidently been unlucky as I've had to return 2 copies now. First was beat up and had consistent loud popping, the 2nd is warped and dirty and is a bit distorted during the title track (both were sealed when I got them.) Hoping 3rd time's the charm...

              This is an amazing pressing. It's almost too good. I highly recommend buying a copy.

                My 2ND copy of this lp sounds great...quiet with a warm dynamic sound for this moody record. A great repress. The first copy (which i sent back) had a bump pressed into the vinyl that was audible throughout the first track along with all sorts of surface noise throughout. So brutal I almost asked for a refund instead of a replacement but I'm very glad I didn't. This record was made for vinyl.

                  I agree with the previous reviewer my copy is flat and noise free. The pressing is surprisingly dynamic for an album with 25+ minutes per side.

                    Real happy this got a repress, my copy sounds great, no surface noise which is impressive for such a sparse and quiet record
