My vinyl sadly has an awfully bad quality. It crackles the whole way through and so is totally unlistenable. You can see that the vinyl is damaged. I hope I will get my money back from the seller.

My copy states:
Matrix / Runout: 831 474-2 02 / MADE IN BY PMDC A
Mould SID Code (OUTER): IFPI L001
Mould SID Code (INNER): IFPI 01AG

Could this be another release?

Absolutely gorgeous release. Very happy to own one copy of this underrated album.

nice rerelase, but at the same time another lost opportunity. they should have included "She cracked" as a bonus track or bonus 7" to make this really worthwile.

Lovely re-issue! I like the revised cover with the new die-cut and mirrorboard effect. Gives you seomthing extra rather than the same package with a coloured vinyl.
Speaking of which - it's a clear vinyl. Nowt more to say on that.
The pressing is nice n quiet - sounds good to me - however, there is a slight warp which means I'm getting the dreaded thud is the record rotates.

Overall, happy with this re-issue.
Purchased from the Banshees webstore with a ltd edition poster! (https://www.musicglue.com/siouxsieandthebanshees/products/star-new-star-through-the-looking-glass-crystal-clear-vinyl-plus-free-poster)

Good pressing. Some distortion artifact is there on the voice but otherwise it is very good. No issue on Trust In Me. Brilliant cover songs.

I have nothing to compare this to, but to my ears it's a very good pressing. Big, dynamic sound. I'm no audiophile, but I'm very happy with this.

What a horrible 'Yugo' pressing this is. Dull, noisy and very little dynamics. It's like listening to an old bootleg cassette tape.

My personal favorite Siouxsie & The Banshees album, but definitely had the same issue with "Trust in Me." Otherwise, it's quite lovely.

I had forgotten how amazing this album is. Every song is great. Seriously - every song. Her covers are amazing! Her version of Trust in Me from Jungle Book is great. The opening song, This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us - is great. Everything is great. It's just a great album.

If you are not familiar with Siouxsie and the Banshees, this would be a great album to get because it will give you a good idea of how she approaches music in general. Her version of Strange Fruit is also - amazing.

No amount of adjectives can properly describe this album. It's just - great.
