folklore target exclusive could never do this (i wish folklore was treated better)

No the best pressing. Some noise and distortion. Maybe you can clean it but new records you should not be cleanded, they should be perfect.

My copy is dead silent (based on the other comments this is just luck). Super pleased with this. Sounds like lana is in my room when I put this on. Dynamics are incredible

pretty bad quality disc 1 is full of pops and static and noise, disc 2 is better but also some very bad moments, amazing colour however

people say target vinyls are bad but i fell in love with this one its pressing and alternate cover is so cool and every osng sounds perfect

It's d as holographic but the inner gatefold is just a print of a holographic image. Both of my disc are safe from pops, noise and clicks.

Some of the songs are better in vinyl than streaming specially Pepper

the most lana del rey album and pressing that ever lana del rey'ed (in other words, stunning and flawless)

My sister flew into town and brought her 3 copies, together between us and another friend of mine we had each of the 8 pressings of this album on vinyl and spent some time over the next few evenings shooting them out with three different styluses and a couple different preamps. We also ripped Candy Necklace from each copy as lossless flac files which were then loaded into our DAW (Adobe Audition) and sync'd up in the multitracker so we could toggle between the 8 different rips of Candy Necklace from each of the 8 different pressings on hand, as well as have a visual manifestation of the waveforms.

We were unanimous in finding this version's soundstage superior, absolute silence in the deadwax, no stereo image interference, a rather impressive job on this particular pressing. Speculative, but it's possible this version of Candy Necklace stood out above the others thanks to the omission of Judah Smith Interlude, which reduces the playtime on side B of this particular pressing down to 15:05 (compared to 19:41 on side B for the other 7 pressings which include the Judah Interlude). At 15:05, the runtime on side B doesn't exceed the 17:43 shelving limitation where groove density begins to compromise and affect both volume and bass dynamics as well elevate the noise floor and artifact density instances.

My only regret is I wish I'd ordered a backup as I didn't realize these were so expensive now. I really enjoy this album. It's no Ultraviolence or Born to Die but it's an impressive return to form after BB and COTCC, two records that don't do much for me. This album has an adventurous and ambitious quality that somewhat feels like the sister album to Lust for Life, spanning a wide range of moods and atmosphere. Definitely one my favorite albums of hers.

Disc two of this variant has very bad static throughout. Vacuum cleaned and ultrasonic cleaned multiple times. Total loss for me. Going on the trade pile.

Does anyone know how many copies were pressed in this variant?
