    I Agree with the others, this is an excellent mastering and pressing. Super punchy bass and airy vocals. Listening through some Klipsch rp speakers sounds amazing

      Damn this pressing sounds fantastic. Clear, heavy bass. Stunning vocals, and distortion parts sound so layered and 3D

        This is probably my single favourite song of the 2010s.

          It’s almost inconceivable how brilliant and beautiful the title track here is, even by Attack’s lofty standards.

          Stunning in every way.

            Fantastic pressing, great music.
            The colour of the vinyl is a very very light lavender too.

            Is 3D Banksy though? ... that's the question... :)

              I would rate the pressing as excellent. Its been a while since I've come across such a clean sounding record. Very nice indeed.

                Is this a limited edition? If yes, how many there are?
