    This sounds holographic, A+ pressing. Buy it now if you like Radiohead. Thom is in the room with you.

      You’re not going to get to find a better sounding version of this album. I have an OG cd copy, and it pails in comparison to this record. A+

        From the very first notes of 2+2=5, you know this was going to be a phenomenal pressing. I cannot imagine listening to this record any other way every again. These are also the thickest pieces of vinyl I have ever seen.

          My copy sounds insanely detailed. On par with my 45rpm Amnesiac double. Great stuff.

            Mine came with a grossly off center disc 1, and warped disc 2. Such a shame, because otherwise seems like a great press

              I used to have the Parlophone reissue but I sold it prior to a move. I just ordered this from amazon and got the XL pressing with the XL stamps scratched out. After a spin clean this is a super silent and warm pressing. It’s on par if not better than my Parlophone copy. Quite a steal at $23 Amazon Prime.

                As always I clean records before I play them and this pressing was very nice but had a bit of surface noise. Did the old wood glue trick and it cleaned it up a lot. Great pressing.

                  My copy has the XL logo on the packaging but has the Parlophone logo on the actual labels.

                    A pretty good pressing. The bass on The Gloaming is fantastic. Surface noise is occasionally pretty noticeable, though, and there's a little distortion in the high end of some tracks.

                      Would someone please whether or not this pressing says "Printed in NA." and "Place of manufacturer as stated on label" on the back? I picked up a copy with these markings, but no place of manufacture can be found on the labels either. It also came with a voucher. Thanks in advance!
