      Absolutely no idea which of the reissues I have other than there's no insert, but regardless, this is one of the best LP's I've purchased for some time in respect of pressing quality. The sound quality is awesome, plenty of bass & volume, so no need to crank up my amp just to hear anything unlike a lot of quieter re-presses. yeah, it's a stick thin sleeve but no splits or tears & the Vinyl is flawless with little if any surface noise. If being overly anal, the spindle holes are super tight so care needed getting them back off the deck without cracking the wax.
