    Sounds fantastic. I was worried it was too long for one piece of vinyl, but it's great.

      Surprisingly sharp, deep, and warm for such a thin vinyl. I have no complaints about this press at all. I was expecting trash but definitely worth the money.

        Does anyone else find that track B6 (Blind Love) jumps at the line "and I don't care if They miss me - I never their names" ?
        Seems like a pressing fault

          I don't know if it's just my copy, but I'd be wary of this issue. Mine sounds terrible even though it's in great condition. Very muddy, entire instruments are indiscernible.
