I'm with flowerbed's comments below. I have a copy of Metal box which has always jumped and skipped throughout. I just treat mine now as a collectors piece and curiosity and I don't attempt to play it. Therefore it looks pristine (the records that is) as the tin of course has oxidised. Sad.

Can someone please tell me about the pressing on this lp, is it better than The Metal Box because I'm tired of the constant ending on Swan Lake which i love?
