    Decent sound. Obviously a digital master, but that doesn't automatically mean it's bad, and this sounds good. GZ Media means a dusty record, however, and this one sure is dusty out of the gate!

      Sounds great after cleaned, but the song titles are completely absent. Like totally absent on this release. this is my first cure album. how am I supposed to know what song I’m listening too . How were folks supposed to know what song they were listening too 40 years ago when the internet didn't exist. Wtf?

        Clean pressing, no defects. My copy sounds excellent. Very punchy and crisp.

            My copy came with visible scuffs/scratches that are audible on playback. Anyone comment on their copy?
