    Hot damn, this sounds amazing! Picked up my go-to Joy Division album, Unknown Pleasures, on Tonpress and picked this up along with it as an afterthought. I dare say, I "get" how brilliant this record is for the first time. The DMM really sings on this one. My copy also has very little surface noise. Very worth grabbing if you find one in good shape!

      Nice sounding copy but a bit noisy, probably due to not excellent PVC compound.
      Also my copy has two factory defects on B1 tracks that produce some issues. Such a shame!
