I am so impressed with the quality of this packaging and pressing. It sounds beautiful, looks great, weighted vinyl, and great packaging. It comes with really cool stickers too. The gold vinyl is beautiful. I can't believe how affordable copies of this are too! Judging by the quality, I assumed they would be going for much more!

Excellent album, totally dig this emotional journey...
Beautiful package...but the pressing on record side D is not up to expected standard. Lots of klicks here and there. I had my second "Gold" copy and its the same problem. Especially sadly on the last song. Quality check failed here..
