Hey this sounds a lot better than the CD, I'm impressed as it's not exactly an audiophile pressing. The soundscape is much more lush, and not as sharp (eg Horchata no longer has piercing sections) -
-
Can anyone tell me whether their copy came with a lyrics sheet? Mine was brand-new, sealed in shrink-wrap when I got it but there's no lyrics. I checked the back of the poster because that's the format they used on "Modern Vampires" but it's blank. I have had this copy for a long time, so it's possible I may have just lost the lyrics, but I don't ever ing seeing them. Anybody have a similar issue?

I have the following details on my press:
Matrix / Runout (Side A): XLLP 429 B989654-01 A3 MK
Matrix / Runout (Side B): XLLP 429 B989654-01 B4 MK -
Can someone tell me the matrix numbers on their copy of this one (purchased in US; no evidence it's a European press)? Mine are:
Side A: B989654-01 A2 MN(or X or R) VIS(or 5) XLLP429 VT
Side B: B989654-01 B2 HL XLLP 429
