    Has anyone come across a version of this album with no run out markings at all, but the correct labels and packaging for this version?

      Incredible pressing! Super punchy and great instrument separation. 5/5 :)

        WOW!! I have the original cd, the Steve Hoffman mastered SACD (which sounds very good) and the 2018 vinyl repress, but this absolutely tops them all. I’m impressed. Loud, aggressive, drums kick and bass vibrates the room, yet nice soundstage as midrange isn’t overpowered. Vocals front and center and balanced with guitars, nice depth so you can often place the vocals slightly behind the guitars! This is the one to own, my friends.

          Got a Nm- copy for 100 bucks today, just put it on my turntable....wow this pressing smacks! Happy to have it. The bass is so good sounding. Massive sound

            Hot damn! Couldn't help but let out a laugh when Timmy C's bass kicks in on People of the Sun - crisp, punchy low end that slaps you across the face. As everyone else has said, this one does indeed rip. If you see a copy in decent shape, snag it.

              This one rips!!! Got it for $7.99 back in the good old days when vinyl was cheap. Sounds great.

                People have been somewhat harsh on this original pressing around the internet, but I think it rips. Great separation. Not the quietest piece of vinyl I've ever owned, but if you can get a VG+ of this, don't hesitate.

                  Anyone know how this compares to the VMP or MOV pressings?

                    A word of warning, don't be an idiot like I was and store the slipmat in the inner sleeve with the LP. I did that when I bought this back in the 90's, and over the years the ink on the slipmat leeched into the vinyl making it pretty much unplayable.

                      OG pressing for the win! Can’t go wrong with this one!
