    Seems there is another repress around: mine comes with Made in (Optima?) Sticker on the back. Sounds absolutely nice. Matrix run out 008880 720298 300 A / B

      It seems that my copy must have been dropped on the floor twice by someone in the factory and carefully scuffed both sides to the gritty floor.
      I had never bought a new record with this many scratches in my life.

        I have just listened to my copy again and I have none of the issues noted by others here.No pops or noise issues.Was I lucky?
        I also have CROO 46 stamped in the runout along with the rest of the identifiers.

          Horrible. I bought it in Paris around the time it came out second hand for 12 euro and I still regret it. Will be replacing soon.

            This is a terrible pressing, very noisy! Save your money and buy the US one.

              AVOID the EU pressing from GZ Media. Noisy as hell. Buy the US pressing

                Nice deep sound!
                Just one or two clicks.
                Great, melancholic songs!
                Very good pressing!

                  Great sound, very deep, some static clicks but nothing more, side 1 cut almost to the label but no IDG - on my at440 - so congrats for cutting engineer :-) My copy is flat with no pressing plant issues, so probably I was lucky.

                    Really don't like the remaster. Sounds like a victim of "loudness war" to me. Not recommended unless you really need this album in your collection .

                      I've got the European version.
                      Not recommended. Mastering/sound is ok, But lot's of pops and snaps on my copy. Pretty disappointing.
