Notes
Reissue, which on first glance looks very similar to the original US pressing. There are, however, several differences that identify this as a reissue:
(1) The original pressing has "Printed in the USA" on the back cover as well as on the insert. This pressing does not.
(2) The original has the following text on the center labels: "Warning: All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws. Made in the U.S.A." This pressing instead has: "FBI Anti-Piracy Warning: Unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law. All rights reserved." (again, no information as to where the reissue was manufactured).
(3) The reissue seems to have a slightly wider spine when compared to the original.
(4) The reissue comes in square, white polylined innersleeves.
(5) The reissue has different runout etchings and stamps.

The press is pretty nice! Sounds solid to me. The absence of most skits can make the album feel a bit disconnected at times, but it wasn't a huge deal for me. The only issue I had with this pressing was on side C-1. There were bubbles/air pockets pressed into the label, but it didn't affect play. Overall, it is pretty solid, but look out for the label issues. -
Does this reissue come with the lyric/credit liner?.. because I recently picked this up sealed and went to open it to no liner credits lol.

We don’t care Side a Track 1 skips but overall disc one plays flawlessly Disc 2 Side A had no skips but sound quality was off on 2nd disc B Side on both Family Business and last call Kanye’s voice sounds way deeper than CD or streaming version almost like it’s a different artist on both songs anyone else notice this -
The pressing is decent overall, esp. compared to other early Kanye records. Side A is cut louder than the other sides and is the best I've ever heard Kanye sound on vinyl. As others have said, no skits takes it down a star as well as some noise issues on the intro/outro to Never Let Me Down & Breathe In Breathe Out (might just be my copy). Pretty happy with this one.

(I do not own this issue anymore.)
Personally, my copy sounded great! Spindleholes were a bit too tight but otherwise I don't have many complaints. Full dynamic sound throughout -

Haven't seen anyone mentioning the fact that both School Spirit Skits and the Lil Jimmy Skit are on here? Does suck not having intro, I'll fly away, and workout plan on here, but the 3 that are here are easily the most important. Also, kinda odd that Through the Wire is so early on, but that's the only change to the track order. It's a good record to have, could be better, but definitely still great and a classic album nonetheless
