Public Service Broadcasting – Bright Magic

Second worst pressing in my collection. The worst is another pressing of the same album.

My copy, on side 2, sounds like someone's grinding sandpaper in their fist, throughout.

Wonderful packaging and a flat, quiet pressing. Pricey, but fantastic

CD sounds amazing. Recommended to any fan of Kraftwerk or Vangelis, as it sounds like an unlikely child of both of them.

My Mottled Orange Black copy which arrived yesterday, also has the pressing artefact which starts at end of track A5 - Blue Heaven and continues through first few minutes of A6 - Gib Mir Das Licht.

Just emailed PSB store to report pressing fault.

Apart from the faulty pressing, got to give credit, the new album is really great so far, and sure it will reveal even more on repeated play through

Good pressing, little bit staticy but a clean sorted that. Grower of an album.

My version of this came with a signed card by the band - not sure if all versions did?

Copies purchased via Recordstore.co.uk came with a band signed art print.

Gone through 2 copies with what looks like a pressing artifact at the end of Gib Mir Das Licht - last song on the 1s side. It looks like a thin white smear and produces repeat audible noise. I'm not seeing it in the image here on discogs so I'm guessing it's limited to a number of pressings. Curious of anyone else is seeing this problem.

Update: 3rd copy came in and is fine. No mark and plays perfectly.

Excellent pressing (black vinyl), perfectly pressed, flat, silent vinyl and the music sounds great. Very happy with this record.
