    Since very few people have reviewed this pressing, I will say that this Polydor original is wonderful. Really does justice to the richness of the production, it's dead silent and even the most subtle micro sounds and beats come out super crisp and sparkle-ish

      Anyone know why Undo is 17 seconds longer than on CD?

        Very good sounding pressing. Maybe the best sound you can get on a Björk record (many releases on vinyl have a compressed and muffled sound). Sounds very clean, open, dynamic and crisp. Quiet surface. Recommended...
