    There's quite a few presses to choose from these days and this one wouldn't be the one I'd recommend unfortunately. I also don't agree that it's a choice between the 24/25 presses and the VMP. I haven't heard the VMP but of the 4 version I've heard, the undated Euro press listed on Discogs (made in Czech Republic sticker) sounds far better than the 24/25 press, and the 96 US coloured labels press better again. I haven't heard the OGs.

      Buy VMP Version if you have the Chance! It Sounds much better!

        Pretty disappointing version. Very flat and weak presence. My copy isn’t too noisy that a clean might resolve

          What are the pressing counts on this? All time favorite.

            Sounds ok to me, as per previous comments it lacks dynamics a bit but more than listenable

            Also a few pops and clicks out of the box

              Cool colour wax, sound could be a bit more dynamic

                If youre buying this hoping its going to sound better than all that came before, well dont bother. This "RSD EXCLUSIVE" is nothing more than the 2024 Pallas pressing re-done on noisier, if prettier vinyl. So it sounds good because the 2024 sounds good. It doesnt do anything special though. The chance to also improve on the 2024's weak sleeve has been squandered too. If this this is worth twice - or more - the price of the 2024 press then im a better lyricist than Mr Tip and Mr Dawg put together!
