    Sounds great, as clean a sound as one can ever expect from The Mighty Fall. One of their poppiest records, but still full of subversion. Service is one of my favorite tracks ever, a beautiful mix of melancholy and sublime melody.

      Lovely reissue, bright and full. Would be nice if it came with some extras like the Cherry Red ones do, but it’s still absolutely worth the £18. Bass is a bit thin on some tracks but I think that’s more an original production decision than a pressing problem.

        I received my copy warped like a banana. A quick look at the discogs page made me laugh and cry at the same time - of course it was pressed by GZ Media...

          Comparing it with the original, I can say that playing it with a serious equipment you can hear more details. However, 2 out of the 3 copies we received have a disturbing noise in the starting part of 1B (so, both given back to supplier and label sent us good ones). In my opinion, one of their best album.

            This edition sounds good! Flat vinyl with no audible defects.

              I'm glad this comes without any bonus tracks polluting the original experience.

                The vinyl sounds really great and I am very happy this was available again and would recommend it heartily, but I have two negatives. Firstly, I really think they should have taken the opportunity to add 'Why are people grudgeful' to the LP release upon this reissue, even if it was on a separate 7", or somesuch; it feels cheap that they haven't. Secondly, I don't have an original to compare it to, but the printing quality of the cover is poor - bootleg quality poor.

                  Love the album. The clear vinyl sounds great. My only gripe is I wish "Why are people grudgeful" was a bonus song like on the CD, but I have that on a singles collection so no biggie.

                    Please note I received my copy on the 25th of March; I have written to Demon and the release date of the 26th is the official date; I can only assume Rough Trade (where I purchased my copy) acquired some copies a few days earlier. I ordered on the 22nd, 2nd-class postage and it arrived today. Really good pressing but I've looked very hard to see if it's been remastered, can't find the information, maybe I didn't look hard enough! Apologies if that's the case!
