Edited 2 months agoI bought my copy through an online retailer here in Denmark in early 2025 and got this version (runouts match variant 5 above). I was a bit nervous because the original European 25th anniversary pressing got really trashing reviews, but I can't fault this version in any way. The mastering volume is a bit low to fit 24 minutes on each side, but the record is extremely quiet in spite of this. No inner grove distortion or sibilance whatsoever. The record had a lot of static from the inner sleeve (which is not as nice as the anti-static inner sleeve that came with my version of Monster), but giving it a wet clean got rid of any major dirt. The mix is very dynamic and sounds great. I guess this has always been a record that shines more courtesy of the music than the mastering, but like I said, in spite of GZ medias dodgy reputation, I'd rate this one close to perfect.

This pressing is sounding fine and silent. New out of the sleeve it had lots op paper between the grooves, had to clean it with my Humminguru. Also have the US 2016 pressing that is just a tiny bit better but has a few plops on Nightswimming....
-
When I first pulled it out of the sleeve it was pretty dirty. Gave it a wet clean. Sounds absolutely fantastic! -
Amazing pressing. I have heard this album for many years and it’s the first time that I heard it this way -

I order this from a big box store (its etchings are variant 1), and perhaps I got lucky, but my pressing sounds stellar, with no pops or noise. I was a bit concerned when I pulled it out of the sleeve, as there was some light scuffing, but not sound issues at all.

Was a little bit concerned after
Reading all the comments - pressing is amazing, drums are amazing on “the sidewinder sleeps tonite”. Just a few cracks here and there but definitely happy with my copy !
Michael Stipe’s voice on man on the Moon is just legendary -
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m also very satisfied with this record. Very clean and silent. The music is beautiful and sound quality is no less than audiophile grade. -
I'm happy with this pressing. Sounds clean to me. I have no complaints about the sound quality. Cleaned it once and it plays as good as any other record. 5/5
