Does anybody else have the side 1 and side 2 mixed up? They seem to be marked wrong on this copy for some reason.
LP sounds great btw. -
I bought my copy back in '81 from a record shop in England when I was there with the USAF. Not sure why Italian pressings of this were being sold in the UK then but I never questioned it as this is a great sounding release. -
Punchy and well balanced. very nice to listen to and all the way AAA. Great issue except for the cheap sleeve. -
Edited 4 years agoA classic album, and great press. This crossover period between Punk and electronic and Joy Division demonstrate but they have influenced so many bands. Something a bit heavier than John Foxx - Ultravox (not the crap Midge Ure Ultravox) but in that direction / style. -
Edited 5 years agoI don’t have another pressing to compare it to but this Italian pressing sounds great. It’s a record with a great variety of reverb and I really like how they (and the snare drum) come across.
