    Watch out kids, tons of amateurs/scammers are selling cheap reissues listing them here as 1st pressing....

      Great pressing. Flat disc, nice mastering, and minimal surface noise. An underrated album for me and a lot of great songs and tones/textures.

        A good repress. It's not with a perfect sound, but with a little equalization it sounds good.
        4 stars!

          Someone’s can confirm that only the original have the MISS YOU SUGAR on the dead wax and not the unofficial?
          Thx

            Does anyone know if the 2017 repressing will be analog or digital?

              Also wondering how many were pressed. Any idea why this sells so high? There seems to be nothing that unique about it, but it seems like almost every U2 album from Achtung Baby and later on vinyl is through the roof.

                I have seen some unnoficial editions that really looks like an original one, can anybody see the difference between the original and the unofficial edition?
                Thank you, regards
