Notes

Label rim text ends with "Made in EU" as opposed to Pornography which looks very similar but has "Made in Czech Republic GEMA/BIEM" at the end of its rim text

Some copies have a Rhino Vinyl hype sticker, includes the text "Remastered by Robert Smith" and "180 gram heavyweight vinyl".

B1 is misspelled 'The Figrehead' on label.

Issued with printed inner sleeve containing lyrics and credits with band photo on flipside.

    Wonderful sound on my copy. No issues to report pressing wise!

      Just picked this up. My copy is mislabeled with "side one" labels on both sides. Sounds great!

        Phenomenal pressing that was remastered by the one of the greatest, Robert Smith. This record absolutely knocks. Well balanced, AAA sounding. Love the less studio-polished and more raw feel of this earlier era for the band. How can something sound so minimalist yet huge at the same time. Absolute legends. If you could still find it around $20 new, I would not hesitate. Beautiful sounds that will just captivate and submerge you in its grandiosity. Another one of those albums that feel like it was meant to be heard on wax. Lyric sheet included.

            Labels say "Made in E.U." I wonder if the US version is also pressed by GZ Media like the Europe versions.

              I had to return my first copy to amazon because it looked like it was mauled by the honey badger. 2nd one was filthy, it had dust and debris all over. But no scratches. Gave it a good wet clean, and sounds flawless. I think they’re pressing so many of these they’re just letting them fly out the door. Mine didn’t even have a Rhino sticker on it. Can’t complain for $16.

                Do all copies of this US version have "The Figurehead" misspelled as "The Figrehead" on side B's label?

                  Fantastic pressing, complete with reprint of original inner sleeve. Only bone to pick is that it didn't come with a code.

                    This pressing sounds amazing. There is a noteworthy spelling error on the Side B label listing "The Figurehead" as "The Figrehead," minor but inexcusable in 2016...
