    Wow! This album is the very first stuff from LCDS that I heard...bought it based on the sound previews and the discogs reviews.
    At risk of sounding over the top, I will say this is my idea of a perfect record. I agree with the quality assessment of this pressing...dynamic sound fading to black hole silence, a vinylphile's dream. Endlessly creative beats that never get monotonous or fatiguing (ok, I'm a bit old and fuddly-duddly) and the album ends brilliantly with an unexpected, plaintive nod to Wilco. The vocal performance here is a real hoot, with that oddball delivery boinging into and out of falsetto range, reminding me of what I love about the Cure and Scary Monsters-era Bowie. There is a delightfully shroomy vibe throughout this record, which sounds absolutely AWESOME through tubes.
    I am privileged to own several killer-sounding vinyls, by AP, MoFi, some Hoffman masters, etc, and this album is right up there with the best of them. 5/5 both for pressing quality and artistic content.

      Great pressing. A couple of my favorites by them heard Loud and clear!

        I will echo others here in saying the sound quality is exceptional, and this record plays superbly. My runout has quite a bit of additional text though. Side a has [lightning bolt] DFA-2164-A DR ORANGE 221122 another chocolatey cut 41034.1 (3)...
        Also, mine does come with the poster as well.

          sounds great, punchy mastering which really brings out the edge in this album's sound. minimal surface noise and all sides are pressed on-center. love the giant poster that comes with it too, it's nearly 2 x 3 feet lol

            My rim text matches this pressing but mine came with a poster, did others also come with a poster?

              The lead-in groove on each side is impossibly short. I can almost never land the stylus on it without risking it scraping along the edge. Other than that it's a great pressing.

                LCD very generous with dead wax run out area. I appreciate minimizing inner distortion.

                    The easiest way to which US pressing is this, is by looking at the A and C side if the DFA and EMI logo are there. If not this is your pressing. Quality sound is outstanding btw, nothing to envy to the original from 2007.

                      The copy I just purchased seems to have the vinyl of this version but the cover of the original US pressing (above barcode it says, "Distributed by Revolver USA www.midheaven.com). Is this a more recent reissue? Flawless pressing, by the way.
