A very nice set and it's a great package but the sleeve is a little too tight and it's hard to get the inners in and out! -
Edited one year agoMy pressing sounds fantastic—very few clicks and pops, and the mastering is top notch as well.
Only downside is the packaging, which is so tight that the LP liners barely fit in the jacket, especially disc 2, which is the middle one. -
Hard to understand the first comments about the pressing quality.
There is almost no surface noise, all three vinyls are in Mint condition.
Sound quality is at its best, besides the sleeves and cover are of top quality.
There is only a small problem. Inner sleeves hardly fit in the cover. That could be wider. -
I must have lucked out compared to the other commentators because my UK/EU pressing is simply gorgeous. Clean, quiet vinyl; rich, dynamic audio... what's not to like?
-
Whoever is in charge of quality control at the pressing plant that made this record should be fired immediately. Sounds like a second hand record and there are muddy marks on the B side of each disc. -
The version of "It's Late" on here is worth the price of ission. That said, not the greatest pressing. Ordered two brand new copies and both times the records arrived in some of the filthiest conditions I've ever seen. I feel sorry for the factory workers. One set had to be returned due to bits of paper being embedded into the record. Replacement was maybe a VG+ at best with a handful of tiny scratches likely caused from the filth in the sleeves during transit.
