    cet album est une tentative ratée d'hommage parce qu'il n'est pas nécessaire ! l'original est tellement indéable que ça ne marche pas..

      I can't believe how scratched up and scuffed my brand new copy out of the shrink is. It's a real shame, because the music of this album is incredible.

        Paper inner sleeve record came in is terrible. Very thin and a nightmare to remove the record from for the first time. Requisite paper scuffs before first play, definitely replace with plastic liner ASAP. Pressing itself is average, digital sounds more dynamic unfortunately.

        Music quality itself top notch, much prefer this over the original version.

          Unfortunately no mp3 Code within this pressing. Otherwise one of this years best Albums.

            Beautiful and hypnotic album !
            Great to hear Gil's voice, words and messages brought back to the forefront ; after Jamie XX's version drowned them out in a sea of his own sounds.
            unfortunately my copy has quite a bit of crackle and pop here and there, with some visible flaws in the vinyl; even after it has been thoroughly cleaned.
            the cover has a nice matte surface texture.
            colour printed inner sleeve.
            no code.

              Do we know who pressed this? Lovely album - one of the best releases of year.

                For those who wonder where does this amazing hypnotic theme of "Me And The Devil" come from, you should check out Stephen McCraven "Allah" track.

                  Such an amazing LP, every track stunning, Gil would have loved this

                    Cleaned first ultrasonically but this pressing sounds nice and quiet.
