Notes

This pressing uses a new lacquer cut by Josh Bonati sometime around 2019, identifiable by the catalogue number AKR099LP-P10 and higher on the barcode sticker. Unlike earlier pressings, which used a printed inner sleeve, this pressing includes a poly-lined inner sleeve and a 12x12 insert, with lyrics and credits on one side and a photo on the other.

Unlike Carrie & Lowell repress, this issue does not include a card. Side A label features a stretching cat silhouette kicking up dust. The Side B label does not feature the cat.

        My pressing is rather noisy but it’s nothing insane. After several cleans I get consistent albeit quiet high frequency clicks throughout, amplified by the album’s quiet nature. This album certainly deserves a higher quality press but this one isn’t dreadful at least.

          absolutely incredible pressing, C&L on vinyl sounds unworldly i love this so much
          great pressing with almost no flaws and was flat when it came

            blown away by this press. Album sounds fantastic on my technics 1210 m5g. Also, mine came with a printed inner sleeve, no poly-lined sleeve

              Crackling and distortion all over. Too bad as the songs themselves are terrific.

                  A few pops and clicks here and there, but overall really nice. I think a lot what what people will say is noise is inherent in the recordings, as mentioned by a Reddit comment from Asthmatic Kitty. Given that this is generally a quieter album, and one that wasn't recorded in the highest fidelity to begin with, I don't think this will ever be perfect unless it's pressed on something like Supervinyl or Clarity Vinyl (a neat idea, but ultimately unrealistic).

                  The most important thing to me is that the music sounds good, and aside from a small amount of noise, it's pressed pretty well. It's a definite improvement over the initial pressings and I'm very happy to have this in my collection.

                    Very noisy. My copy has an almost constant static noise on side a. Cant be ignored due to the mellow nature of album. Side b is better.

                      Mine is much better than the terrible original pressing. Nearly no crackles after a good cleaning. Maybe it's a hit and miss.
