    Too many crackles on my copy. I don't know if all copies are the same, but on some tracks, it's quite unpleasant.

      Great to have and vinyl is good. The mastering isn’t great but…you get iconic shiz.

        My love/hate relationship with Record Store Day releases is not helped with this release. Unlike seemingly the majority of other people, my copy sounds atrocious - quite possibly one of the worst sounding records in my entire collection. The surface noise is persistant across both sides. Despite numerous cleanings, the crackle has only lessened slightly. I am very disappointed with this release. Luckily my Japanese pressing is nearly faultless.

          The “Acid Green” pressing matches the aesthetic of the Alien franchise so well. And the sound quality is exceptional.

            Super happy with this release as I missed out on the Mondo press, and sold my original years ago. Having gotten back into vinyl , this is a no brainer and sounds and looks great. Even having proper anti static sleeves means a lot to me ( how many times to we have to toss those paper ones and put em in Mobile Fidelity ( or the like) sleeves? Nice release all around.

              Suprisingly good pressing, for sure coloured vinyl can be as good as the black variant which isnt the purest form itself anyway! The difficulty can be spotting nasty non fill on certain colours but mercifully mine here is free. One of my top personal 5 films to boot 😄

                Must have got unlucky compared to other reviews - A side is distractingly noisy in right channel

                  The pressing is absolutely silent, not a single crackle or pop. Crystal clear sound. Excellent quality pressing!

                    Very nice selection of songs and plays very cleanly. Presentation is a little sparse, but it's a nice addition.

                      My copy also plays just fine. Only gripe I have is I wish the presentation was done a little better. Maybe an insert, booklet, or something to spruce it up. Great release though!
