    It's all beautiful! The pressing, the colour, the sound, the packaging. I love it!

      Outstanding packaging and sound is superb, heard lots of new sounds.

        I had the regular black version of this previously and did an A/B comparison. Don't let the similar rating here fool you, this pressing is far superior. My black version had countless pops and surface noise from easily visible nonfill that degraded the experience. Aside from that, this version sounds much more robust from a mastering standpoint. Very glad I upgraded to this definitive version.

          Best pressing of this album, love the wax colors they match the tone and feel of the album. The included art print and everything make this package even more desirable. The remaster on this album is easy to tell comparing an OG press and this one, lot more robust in sound. Great pressing!

            BoxeQ56
            Sounds great and zero surface noise, however dissapointed that the song ‘Make her say’ has a few skips in it. Rather frustrating, but glad to have this album on wax nevertheless

                  March '22 purchase direct from VMP. Colors look great, purple is vibrant. Low surface noise. overall sounds really great. I'd love a little more bass on it but overall a dynamic pressing that is a fun listen.

                    Received today (Feb 2022 swap) and the colors pop on this. The purple and swirl is very obvious in normal lighting. Great dynamics on this right out of the sleeve. Very happy with this release.

                      Nabbed the rerelease this year and I gotta say, the color problem is not an issue. The purple is very apparent and you don’t need to hold it up to the light to see. Now QC-wise my copy did come with a couple of chips in the vinyl on the outer edges but nothing that would affect play so I’ll live with it. Sound-wise, yeah this copy slaps. I don’t think I’d be able to get a better version if I tried. Packaging is . Highly recommend
