    I am happy with mine. Flat and dynamic. No plans to upgrade.

      This may or may not be a bootleg. Sound is fine but not amazing, Kinda fishy there are so many sealed copies for sale but also a stash of deadstock might have been unearthed in a warehouse somewhere and put out into the world, so who knows. Bought a sealed copy last year and was so warped I'm surprised it even plays. Will upgrade at some point.

        Not the best pressing - original is sounding better - also not very good pressing (A-Symmetric); needle goes to much from left to right on side A. Wouldnt recommend this pressing.

          Is this an official release? I bought this sealed a few years ago from a major seller and marketplace is full of Mint or Near Mint copies...

          Edit: can anyone confirm if this has printed inner sleeve or not? Mine has blank sleeve with rounded corners.
