    Meh meh meh meh. Enough words yet. Honestly it's fine. Sounds like a CD, if thats your thing. Need to find a more engaging copy.

      Fantastic pressing, really great sounding records. Too bad there's no inserts. My 5 stars goes to the audio quality.

        my copy is made in 2004. Yet mentions nothing of sterling or anything else in the wax area. it does have (hand etched):AL 93436 x1 (machined stamped) "c". all other sides are the same except missing the machine stamping "c". Mine also includes 2 semi glossy picture inner sleeves. Any info on this?, maybe a different variant since it does say it's the only other one made on vinyl in 2004...

        edit: i just dont get the whole "Issued with printed inner sleeves

          If all you care about is good sound quality, and don't want to or can't afford a UK original, this is a great alternative. No frills, but mastered and pressed as quality.

            Not actually Spanish at all. Completely wrong listing . Needs deleting .

              I don't have lyric sheets and I bought this years ago. I have never been tempted to buy another though because this pressing just sounds excellent.

              It was a real no frills pressing as the weight must be 140 compared to newer pressings.

              But I bet the sound holds up close to any other pressing

                Mine has the same etchings and came with the inner sleeves with the lyrics. And it sounds great!

                  I believe the original UK release (on CBS, not Epic) had white labels. I was disappointed that this version, which sounds good, doesn't have the lyric sheets.

                    I have a copy of this album, but I don't have the lyrics on the inner sleeves. I bought it new and sealed too. Does anyone have any ifo about this? Also, The green is really dark in the cover.
