    Absolutely essential that you clean this record. Washed my copy through the spin clean and it reduced the noise dramatically.

      I have had this for years and just gave it a listen to see if I should get the 10th anniversary pressing since I have seen good things. After listening to this, I'll hold off. It is not perfect, but I do not have any substantial surface noise, no skips or pops, and generally sounds pretty good.

        Disappointed with this one. Poor pressing quality and surface noise throughout.

          My copy sounded fine, at least very little noise, but I also was missing a code. However, I wouldn't recommend this particular pressing to anyone.

            My copy sounds awful. LOTS of noise, even after cleaning. Possibly a CD rip. Also, no code.

              I have run outs that read:

              L-22-391M-A-RE-2 HTM-001
              L-22-391M-B-RE-2 HTM-001

              New press or variant?
              Not particularly thrilled with this cut. Great record but some QC issues like a bubble looking thing in the wax, somehow not audible or I otherwise missed it. Also some squiggly/ripping plastic sounding intermittent distortion on A1
