The "cardboard" copies should've been labeled as another release (the real 1st press) i think... -

As it’s from Manchester, fair to say, it’s the bees knees. Great album. My copy has the misspelling on the spine but just a regular art printed inner. DNAP 😂🐝🐝 -

Do the pictures really show the first pressing? My variant has just one pressing ring, but runouts A1 / B1 as stated. -

Most definitely the best pressing you will ever hear of this album. Super quiet vinyl allows the listener to hear full range of musical dynamics on what is a cheaply recorded album. The original UK version sounds subdued compared to this and the LTM/Factory Benelux reissues sound very digitally processed and are as noisy as hell. -

Mavuchka replaces Messidor on this Canadian version of the LC Factory LP -- both are wonderful songs but for me Mavuchka is a must have for DC fans. It can also be found on some DC compilations. -

The sound is very good. The mix holds up well, I felt that I was listening to a new recording, which says as much about the quality of the mastering and pressing, but also says a lot about how unique the music is. Oh and the “7” sounds beautiful. -
2-08 is actually Verbier (For Patti), not the original 7'' version that now can be found on The Durutti Column - Deux Triangles Deluxe

Has anyone heard this? I'm wondering about the pressing and sound quality. -

This entry is NOT an official release. ALL copies of the 2016 FBN 10 vinyl edition come with a 7" (see Discogs release 8491249), it is not sold WITHOUT 7". I assume this entry functions for people who bought the complete set (2xLP+7") keep the 7" but want to flog the double-vinyl. Unfair. I recommend this entry/release (Discogs release 8458612) being removed.
