    After reading all the comments, I had really low expectations for this release/pressing… now I’ve listened to it and can‘t really confirm any of the mentioned issues. The vinyl is clean and has a very very low noise floor, no clicks/pops whatsoever (I haven‘t even cleaned it yet). The sound is good… nothing extraordinarily special, but still good. Different mixing, than the digital release… a bit more in your face, which I like. It also comes with a nice thick booklet and the LP innersleeve is a good one with paper and plastic liner.. To put it in a nutshell: well worth the 25€ I‘ve spent.

      Veeeery bad sound quality on this edition. I thought my amp had gone bad. No exaggeration.

        Despite washing it twice, this is still one of the noisiest records I own. Shame, because it sounds great otherwise, but the crackling really kills the quieter parts.

          my copy is bit warped and first songs of each side plays with "pounding" in music... there is a small wave on one place, really hard to visible... i had to claim it.
          Anyway mastering is awesome and vinyl sounds like a charm! Sterling!!! This is a problem from the pressing company.

            No issues on my pressing whatsoever. Great production and great sounding record.

              On the first listen I noticed some cracks and a bit of inner groove distortion. After cleaning it with cleaning fluid, all the cracks and distortion were gone and sound opened up. Mix is different than digital release, vocals are much more audible and in the front. Over all sound is softer and warmer than digital. Packaging is quality work. Don't know about surface noise, I heard none. Listened on Ortofon OM10.

                Unfortunately the usual amount of noise from a spinefarm pressing. Totally ruins the lp. I've had alot of issues with their pressings lately

                  I returned my first copy, As others said pretty noisy and also I had some skips first on Call me little sunshine that disappeared after wash. Side 2 was even more noisy, so I sent it back but am pretty sure that the second copy will also have issues. GZ sucked again on this one.

                    Very noisy in the quiet parts. Returning it and hope the new one does a better job! Very disappointing because the vinyl sounds great in the loud (normal) parts!

                      Pretty noisy despite being clean and also slightly warped. Very unusual for Spinefarm (at least in my experience).
