A sticker affixed to shrinkwrap on the front cover reads:

This comes with the same gatefold sleeve, digital card and plain pink or white ("C" matrix variant) paper inner sleeve with PTKF2155-1 written in small letters in a corner as the US version cut by Bob Weston for the US market.

Just got my copy. Hype sticker mentioning code, with card inside with code. Sounds just fine to me, after it's initial clean. Always hate that the stickers are on the shrink, not the lp but managed to peel and re-stick ok. -

Just picked this up over the weekend — glossy pink inner sleeve, no code included, no sticker on the shrinkwrap, but the matrix numbers match the GZ pressing. Perhaps another new pressing? Mine came warped but still plays okay for me. -
Allow me to provide a counter to the previous complaints...
Is this an audiophile pressing? No
Does it sound terrible? No
Pros:
Mastering is very well done especially in the mids and highs. Music doesn't sound tame at all on my system. Note that you do have to run the volume up a bit more than usual to make it sing.
Bass, while not powerful is very accurate and tight. If you want more you can defnitely add it by adjusting your receiver settings.
Pressing is extremely quiet. I noticed virtually no surface noise after a quick clean.
Cons:
Record came warped. Mileage may vary but didn't effect playback at all for me.
Light scuffs due to paper inner sleeve. Again no effect on playback for me.
Bass a little lighter than you may want. Worth adjusting.
Conclusion:
Get this pressing if you like the music. For $20 bucks I'm more than satisfied. Just note that your dealing with GZ so pressing quality can vary wildly.

I have this same release from the Idles shop with a glossy white card inner with the printed number and not pink paper

Similar experience to Eviltoastman - a brilliant album marred by a disappointing pressing quality. The vocals suffer enormously, which is a shame as Joe's voice really does a lot of the power in this album.
-
This is a great album. This is not a good pressing. Very little surface noise which is great. The sound bottoms out on percussion and sound boxy and bass and the high end seems subdued. The thing seems tight and compressed, the sound is suffocated, no air. The files sound better. I'd like to compare this pressing with the US pressing (currently incorrectly marked here as UK, US and Europe)..
