I concur that this is an excellent pressing. My copy is quiet, not just in of ticks and pops, but the background vinyl noise is also very low. This is impressive considering the album's length, which necessitated it being cut at a lower-than-average volume (thus the recommendation to "PLAY THIS ALBUM LOUD"). -
I compared the sound quality of this pressing to my Mobile Fidelity sound lab copy and this pressing sounds better. I hear more clarity and the volume is fuller. -
This is a brilliant album. James Honeyman Scott guitar god. This pressing sounds great too. What a bargain.

I'm sorry, but who the heck paid $44 for a copy of this? Is that for real? You don't have to try very hard to find good condition a copy of this in a bargain bin for a couple bucks max.
And Mystery Achievement alone is worth those couple bucks. -
