    My copy sounds perfect. No issue with any of the tracks mentioned here.

      Awesome album and have loved it since walking into a record shop when it came out, hearing it and buying the cd on the spot. Proper raw, rock.

      Recently sourced a new copy of this release on vinyl. Outer jacket is decent enough but crappy paper inner sleeves had split due to rough handling.

      I wasn’t expecting great things from the vinyl, but mine is actually pretty decent after a good wet vac clean, with only a few minor, occasional crackles and little surface noise. Discs now in proper Mofi sleeves. There is some nasty sibilance on “S” sounds on side B track 4. Pressing is hardly audiophile quality and very slightly veiled, but sound is punchy and raw with drums a particular highlight. Simple musical arrangements well placed in soundstage.

      Slightly more laid back and heavy balance compared to cd but guitars still wild and raw. Music 5 stars, pressing 3-4 stars, hence overall rating.

        Love having this record because it's my favorite by the Stripes and the packaging is gorgeous...but man, after finally cranking the volume on my newest spin I'm noticing a LOT of cracks and pops. Nothing that ruins it but pretty noticeable and it's a bummer.

          This pressing is absolutely HORRIBLE! I cannot believe that it was released from the record plant in this kind of shape. Dings, pock marks, smudges, and scratches all over it. Both sides. I have 55 year old records that look aand play better than this release. Shameful!

            Kind of irritated with this one. I bought it the other day at my local record shop for a local record shop price. Labels are totally wrong for the first disc (side A is mislabeled side 3), several little scuffs and divots from manufacturing, rough edges, had to use an X-acto blade on the spindle hole for the second disc just to get it on the table. Kind of noisy throughout (washed before it was ever played, I'm going to see if my new platter resolves this), but overall sounds pretty good except for the harsh sibilance on "You've Got Her in Your Pocket," which others have mentioned in reviews. The Third Man website says all sales are final unless there is a "significant issue with playback" or whatever and that's assuming someone buys from them directly. I think I'm going to steer clear of Third Man releases unless I buy them off Amazon...at least then I can exchange.

              I have some different runout etchings on my version. Wondering there is anyone else seeing the same thing
              A - UNEQUIVOCABLY
              B - HAND PEDAL COMPRESSION
              C -BISCUIT EQUALS COOKIE
              D - DONT HAVE THE PATIENCE TO WATCH BATTLE EVERY MINISCULE DISEASE

                Love this album, it sounds great but I've noticed some really harsh sibilance on the track "You've Got Her In Your Pocket." Anyone else facing this same issue?
