    Doesn't sound as good as the CD I have from the early 90's. Not sure why somebody put digital compression on several songs on this "re-issue." A lot of songs sound bottom heavy in the bass region and (as another writer put it) applied the "smiley face" EQ is on almost every track which causes a lot more fatigue to settle in on songs that should sound cleaner. Inferior vinyl format aside, my copy was pretty noisy for a BRAND NEW record. I cleaned it, did my typical vacuum cleaning for even new Vinyl, and it still irked me a bit considering how much thrift vinyl I have sitting around. Editing my own needle drop transfer recording was sort of a nightmare because I had to use the Expanded CD version to isolate where the first tracks on every side actually started playing. Extremely overpriced for what is essentially a downgrade of the CD version they sold decades ago with more tracks and a better mix. Very unfortunate to pay nearly 50 USD for a vinyl that still doesn't sound as good as a CD, but then again it does have Perfect Kiss on here and that sounds really good so it's sort of a toss-up to be honest.

      I still don't understand why "Substance" is considered as an album and not a compilation...
      While this is is still a masterpiece, it is basically a compilation of 12" mixes...

        The vinyl I have is gray in the color of the letters in the title (embossed).
        The color of the back is also gray.
        Is there anyone else who has the same thing?
        I think this is an error board.

            Got the black pressing today (2 copies)

            Both sound stunning and blow the original pressing I had sometime ago out of the water.

            LPs are clean, no pops, no ticks, no scuffs, no warps.

            Sound: much fuller than what i had before, dynamic, and yes - warm.

            Alot of care and attention went into this. Worth every dollar spent.

                      One of the best compilations ever. Hit after hit, what more can you wish for? (Except a remastered deluxe edition.) One of my most played albums of all time.
