    Bought brand new sealed from an independent seller. Jacket and sleeve are both from excellent quality. The included poster is also a nice touch. My copy is mostly flat and well centered. Some small tics here and there and some pops, which can be a tiny bit annoying on a few ages (there is some noticeable surface noise and non-fill on A3), but it doesn’t ruin the overall experience IMO. Great presence and wide soundstage. The drums can sound a tiny bit laidback in the mix on A4 (nitpicking there), but the overall mixing is very well done. Great album! 4.7 / 5

      I’ve had this awhile and hadn’t listened to it for sometime so gave it a spin. Such a great mellow and obvious Floyd-esque album. Still like Rattle That Lock as my favorite Gilmour solo release, but this one is a close second. Wish David and Nick would hit the road for some US tour dates as I’d love to see them perform. I’m not spending a dime to see the prick Waters.

        I have no issues with this pressing. Ran my VG+ thru the Spin Clean and sounds great.

          Super pressing. Very happy with the sound of this version. I've been hesitant to buy it, more because I'd forgotten how good it was.

            This uses the same stampers as the first pressing. My copy is pin drop silent out of the sleeve without a clean too. Buy with confidence, this thing sounds incredible. The sound is as good if not better than any Pink Floyd album I own. They did this right. And Doug Sax mastered it. You cannot go wrong with this press

              Utterly fantastic sounding. Better then both the original CD and vinyl releases

                This LP does sound great, no issues of fidelity, and no concerns of non-fill either.

                  I picked this up used at the record store today, no problems on side 1 for me. Record sounds incredible.

                    No problems here. It was a pleasure listening to this from start to finish.
