    Warped and boring center label design don't go near it

      The pressings are outstanding but the packaging itself is weak. Thin flimsy single sleeve and paper only inners show a lack of love. What love there is comes from Pallas going into two flat and silent (once washed!) discs that sound super clean and rich. No other pressing required for me, this does this business!

        Sounds good, which is because it's a 2LP version. Both discs look flat-ish.

        My only complaint is that the packaging inside is so boring. There is no artwork and both sleeves are in plain paper with holes cut out at the center without anti-static material inside. Instant dust magnet. I mean I paid 27 Euros in mint condition and other albums in similar price had better sleeves. Not a problem if you have a few spare ones. I ran out on them, which means buying some more, lol.

          This must be one of the finest brand new vinyls I got. No warping, no background noise, no clicks and pops, no 180g nonsense, discs are clean. Also cheap compared to others. Highly recommended.

            i dont understand why it is a clean version... The "explicit" words is cut from the album. Does anyone have other version of the album with the explicit lyrics or this is the only original version?

              Does it contain a printed inner sleeve or insert? If not, which (affordable) press does?

                Pressed at Pallas in (I believe). Simple & cheap non-gatefold jacket (shame!). Nice clean press, no issues with my copy. Affordable. Sounds perfectly fine. Have not been able to compare to any other version, as this is my only copy. I'm sure the recent colored VMP press is nice, but near impossible or rather expensive to get in Northern Europe.

                    Nice cheaper repress. Sounds good to me and follows on from all of the other good Jive and Sony pressings.
