    Just got this from my local record store, sounds amazing, dead silent, very balanced, vinyl has a beautiful red, booklet's cool (even if a bunch of pictures don't really add anything to the album, I wish there was some info in there), overall an enjoyable experience.

      This German red vinyl pressing sounds amazing, as do the other 2020 Kling Klang colored reissues. Highly recommended.

        Hi, tell me please, the German version of red vinyl weighs 180 g? this is not indicated in the description

          I realized that for all the colored vinyl re-releases of 2020, only the English language versions say "180g". Are the German ones not 180g or is that just not listed for some reason?

            Deadly silence....magnificent pressing.
            Brings back vivid memories.
            I recommend the purchase.

              Excellent pressing. Barely a few pops between tracks. I highly recommend !

                My copy sounds great and the pressing is excellent. Only a few pops/ticks, and nothing repetitive. No apparent issue on Spacelab as another person mentioned.

                  On three different copies from three different sellers, the right channel on "Spacelab" was much too quiet, shifting the whole stereo image far to the left.

                    Tremendous sounding repress, and the included booklet is great! Excellent value for £22, very happy
