    Some information about sourcing ? . . . . .

      Thick gatefold, high quality printing. My record had some surface noise that I was able to wash out without much trouble. It sounds detailed and dynamic now. Glad I went with this over the sketchier represses coming out of Europe right now.

        Great pressing! The center piece does rotate and there’s no censorship on this one. Solid packaging, great quality record, sounds amazing.
