    Mine came slightly warped but still plays well with very little surface noise

      Not sure if weynagrom has the same release? Anyway, my copy matches the matrix info 100%. It sounds outstanding IMHO! Warm and dynamic sound. The pressing quality is very good. 99% quiet. Just a little noise at the end. (IGD) Possibly the best Rainbo pressing in my collection.

      And yes, music is fantastic.

        This is a shameful remaster and repress right down to the slightly blurred art (to mask inauthenticity). The price, at least here in Canada, was $9.99 and it should have cost a lot less. Look for an original copy - there is always one around if you look hard enough. They sound measurably better.

        The music, on the other hand, is fantastic.
