    Is this one pressed at Optimal as well? Their catalog number BO1299 is not part of the matrix information of this release. Can somebody check?

      Anyone else’s copy starts to distort at the last track of each side?

        Great copy wonderful listening experience of one of the truly great bands in the history of music. I loved music all my life mainly on the fringes of alternative ranging from heavy distorted guitar to techno and this band is up there with my absolute favourites, no pun intended, or maybe it was. One of those bands you have to own and cherish everything by. This album is as good as the other 3 and that all you need to know. Four albums in and all are classics in their own right.

          Owning the vinyl does give you more than listening to the hires stream and this is a solid pressing.

            More than one clear/transparent version. Copy I received from UMUK with signed print is cloudy whilst Amazon US copy is clear. There are also differences in the cover color, hype sticker, thickness of sleeve cardstock, spine width and label indentations. Additionally cloudy version has inscription indicating it was pressed at optimal which is not present in clear version

                This is probably one of the worst album covers ever- WTF were they thinking!

                  Same question.
                  How’s this version sounding compared to the standard black one?

                      I’m seriously impressed that someone is willing to pay £200+ pounds for an obi strip and an art card that would have cost pennies.
