Mine is a first pressing, Sqounds okay but shows it's age in 2025. Curious for a future remaster possibly next year if it improves things. But it is what it is for now. -
Can anyone confirm this is actually pressed in Japan or is it the EU press with an OBI slapped onto the cover? -
It sounds superb. All the dynamics are there, the vinyl is flat and it's dead quiet in the silent parts - really happy with it!
-
Excessively overrated retroparasites.They probably believe (rightly) that their fans don't know where they stole from. -
Over 23.500 people don't own a first pressing of this. People don't know, or don't care which pressing they own. -
My copy has skipping issues on side A. Looks like a pressing defect. Shame.
-
I agree with other reviewers about this pressing sounding very clean.
Mine has the same stamping and etching on the runout, but has no Made in Canada sticker and has the more normal larger Arctic Monkeys sticker on the shrinkwrap instead of the smaller version mentioned in the details of this release -
Edited one year agoBuyers beware! There are A LOT of reissues listed for sale as first pressings. People don’t care or know how to properly check which pressing they have.
First press: WIGLP 162 A-1 / WIGLP 162 B-1 stamped matrix numbers. If there are any additional letters or numbers whatsoever it's a later pressing. It’s as simple as that.
Brand new/sealed copy = 99% guaranteed to be a reissue. This record is almost 20 years old and has been reissued multiple times. The sleeve, sticker, barcode etc looks exactly the same on a lot of pressings, checking the matrix numbers is the only way to know if you have a first press. -
The record sounds so good for the price not a single click or pop -
It used to say this press was from 2018, now its an unknown year according to discogs. Does anyone have an idea what year this press is from?
