    My copy sounds very good. The occasional click and pop here and there. Pretty standard stuff. The record was very, VERY dirty and it needed a thorough cleaning. I am sure the sound will improve more after a second cleaning. I bought it sealed for 21 euros. Can't complain!

      My NEW copy arrived looking like a used copy. Lots of surface marks plus snap, crackle and pop. I notified the seller and recieved a replacement disc which was perfectly fine. Its an awesome album and the vinyl sounds great if you get a clean copy. If you get a bad one just complain and ask for replacement. Take a chance, it's worth it!

        I've just received my copy and it's somewhere in the middle from the quality of pressing point of view. It's fairly flat, looks flawless, but has some noticeable white noise. For me it's just ok, but I would not have bought it in the shop when new I guess.

            Agree with the last poster, my copy is in perfect shape and absolutely quiet. What a great album!

              If you’re reading these reviews and are put off because of reports of poor or damaged pressings, take mine into …

              My copy sounds fantastic and the vinyl is really quiet, plus it’s flat, centred, shiny and has no marks or non-fill.

                Sad to say, just a god-awful copy of this record. Deep visible scratches across multiple tracks on both sides, as though this was pulled from the press by the claws of disgruntled crows! Just terrible - wish I had taken these comments more seriously before purchasing. More than happy to stick with my original CD. Disappointing.

                      Horrible pressing! Very loud vinyl - surface noise and crackling all the time. Forget it!
