The Streets – A Grand Don't Come For Free

best album ever must buy better than the beatles
wow

My version has the same matrix as this but is black vinyl

Great sounding pressing and very easy to listen to album.

My records have stamped runouts. The A side is 1915605-A, 273381E1/A. Anyone know the year/country of this release. Can't find it anywhere.

The track listing on the back sleeve is possibly taken from the CD-Version (1 to 5, then a gap and further 6 to 11), but this album is a double album (A, B, C & D) like the original from 2004. For me it's a misprint on the back sleeve.
By the way, the pressing quality and the sound are really, really good! Only the cheap white inner sleeves are poor... (this reissue not included the original printed inner sleeves!). If you want have the printed inner sleeves, you should grab a good copy of the original pressing from 2004. The quality in total of the original is also worth the value, if you grab one.

My copy is similar except
Matrix: X21047 3 61534-2 01 M1S3
Mastering SID Code: ifpi L902
Mould SID Code: IFPI 2U7K

Incredible album. Record sounds great. I've always loved this album though, how the entire thing is a story from start to finish yet the singles (could well be in, blinded by the lights, fit but you know it etc) are not out of place. I always keep going back to this album.

I don't actually think it's a defect, while watching it and Listening I believe that it's actually just where the snare hit is on the song and it lines up perfectly to make that weird looking mark along Blinded By the Lights.

Mine has the same pressing defect, but it also has no effect on the playback. Sounds wonderful. YMMV. Be sure to play test it, especially on that track (B1). Heavyweight vinyl, received wonderfully flat. Should always be a gatefold jacket for a 2xLP release though.
