    A little skimpy on the packaging for the price, but a nice press.
    Dynamic, has some punch.
    Mine is flat and quiet.

    Not repressed very often, so ya take what you can get.

      Great album but a very disappointing and very lazy release. My vinyl is full of crackle all through both sides. No gatefild and just a plain white cardboard inner sleeve. No lyric sheet. Very bare bones but not a bare bones price. Avoid!

        Wanted this album for a long time, since it's amazing, but I wish I'd known that for $40 before taxes and shipping, the entire package is the cover and a record in a plain white innersleeve. No lyrics sheets, no special remastering, no gatefold, no digital . 7 Seconds recently put out a couple of their old albums with great sound quality that came with a 7" and an amazing booklet with interviews from tons of people that was cheaper than this. Just feels gross to gouge fans...surprised this isn't a Newbury exclusive.
