    I have this and the 2017 repress, sound wise the original is better but not enough to worry about. The album artwork on the other hand is worth buying the original alone, the 2017 looks like a bad photocopy. You can pick up the original cheaper than the repress so makes it a no brainer.

      Hey ma, my chair's broken. Give me a peppermint.

      Never a truer sentiment spoken (subliminally)

          Which is the pressing with the satanic messages when you play the album backwards?
