    Very rich soundstage and separation of instruments. It's Sonic Youth at their best. My copy does have a bumping defect around the edge of the record, as evident also by the stylus bumping up and down, it is also a bit crackly in ages - as someone else stated SY is all about noise so the unwanted noise doesn't take away from the listening experience that much and kind of adds a little bit extra to this album. Overall a great pressing for the money.

    Presentation: 4/5
    Pressing (pops, skips): 4/5
    Mastering (audio source): 4/5
    Sleeve: Anti-static Inner

    Setup (turntable, stylus): AT-120XUSB, AT-VM95ML

        This version sounds really good, no complaints about the sound, but you can really notice clicks/surface noise all along the record. Not much noticeable since Goo is really all about noise ;)
        I think the original CD sounds even better.

            a true Sonic Youth masterpiece.
            this 'Back To Black' vinyl edition sounds pretty awesome
            and has been on hi-rotation since it came in.

              Excellent mastering, but there is noticable surface noise, especially at the start/end of both sides.
