Thought I’d revisit this and leave an update for fans interested in a good sounding version of this record.
I recently bought the Made in EU Blue version of this vinyl (make sure it has made in EU in the back cover as the USA version uses the same stamper as this pressing). The European version uses the MOV stamper (Music On Vinyl did a pressing of this sometime ago).
The sound quality of that is significantly better if not night and day differences. It still sounds lofi but with more punch, air between the instruments and natural vocal presence in the mix. The bass is significantly more punchy.
I might have been wrong thinking the extra compression was part of the production. The MOV version is just more dynamic and shows the mastering of this version was squashed.
I do not mean to say that this version is bad. In fact, I have enjoyed this version a lot. But if sound quality is your primary objective, try to get the pressing with MOV in the matrix.

Purchased new in 2022, and all the comments are from the last year. Surely there is a 2021 re-press going around with the same info as the 2003 version? -
1st of all- great Lp- arguably their best. Although I think the Music on Vinyl version sounds great, this is ok at half the cost. It's not the quietest LP: quite a bit of crackle and a few pops even after thoroughly cleaned (mine has a scratch on it right out of the shrink...grrr!) but the music isnt quiet either so it's not terribly noticable. 'Still beats the blast of compression that is the CD -
Worth finding a copy of this pressing, and it'll likely cost you less than the VMP one that sounds more overworked in the mastering. It has all the grit and edge that these songs need to deliver. If you're looking for "dead quiet" and lifeless, this may not be the one you want. But if you're looking for the sound of The Strokes throwing down in your living room, turn this thing up and let it rip.

I recently bought this and it appears there was a misprint because my record had the “Side B” label print on both sides yet it plays the entire album. Just curious if anyone else’s copy came like this? -
