    First copy was atrocious - dirty as hell, skips galore, tons of non fill. Second copy was excellent, clear, balanced and quiet.
    Both copies were spin cleaned thrice.

      Terrible pressing. One of the least enjoyable records I have played recently. The music is nice but I constantly felt that something is wrong with audio. At least I have a copy of it and it's just filler... Gotta look out for some other issue.

        Mine came with visible paper particles on Side A which could not be washed out. Had to return it. Other than that, record looked good, nice, flat and shiny. Artwork looked good too. Such a shame.

          Awful pressing... Sorry if I'm going against the general consensus here but I found it weak compared to an original or even a much later re-press.

          Honestly, I sent each one back and bought from different sources. I bought copies all together and all were returned.

            It's pressed at Optimal Media so that's a bonus. Very good pressing just the sound will be of the day! That's 1968 baby! Check out the vinyl releases by Repertoire records Vinyl to see where Nick Simper went next...The band Warhorse.

              I enjoyed this pressing and the album was cheap. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on an original, i can recommend getting this pressing. You will be fine :)
