    This sounds really great. I have a 1st press and an actual MSFL copy to compare to. The first press is super punchy; Everything feels up front and in your face, which is nice on my system. However, this press has amazing clarity, spaced out instruments and clear vocals. Its basically the MoFi but with pretty colors and a pop out gatefold. The MoFi’s gatefold/jacket is much higher quality tho.

      I've been seeking out this pressing for a while now and it is absolutely worth the hype. The vocals are crystal clear, the drums phenomenal and pack a loud punch. And those guitars? The perfect level of distorted crunchy goodness. I heard some background noises at the start of across the sea I never knew existed until now. Hell yeah. This pressing has blown me away. I doubt any women will talk to me again now that this is in my possession but who cares? The dynamics on this thing make up for the eternal loneliness

        This just sounds amazing from beginning to end. Great pressing.

          Mine skipped on the last track in about 7 places. Vinyl Me, Please was great & fast in sending me a replacement, but my 2nd copy skipped on the last track too! Got 2 duds I need to figure out what to do with now.

            Good sounding record and awesome packaging. Mine was super dirty when it came out of the sleeve, but with a wet wash, no issues.

                  Received my copy in the mail EXTREMELY warped. Thankfully Vinyl Me, Please was fast to act and sent me another copy in the mail as soon as they could...but I was shocked at how damaged it was upon arrival. Anyone else have any issues of warping?

                    The sound is incredible. I was stunned at how great this sounds.

                      Edit - it has to be the MFSL masters. Mine has "MFSL 1-393" crossed out in the run out.
