    Punchy, dynamic, her vocals are showcased very well, with depth and texture. But most of all, you experience an amazing, mesmerizing 3D soundstage. Obviously the album itself is a total delight. I gave mine a quick wash and it is mostly free of surface noise, just a few scattered moments. Reasonably if not perfectly flat. Outstanding reissue.

      This album sounds way better than it has any right to be on vinyl for something digital, regular weight and in color. The clarity is instantly a standout. That quiet that we all seek etc. im pretty surprised at how good it is on vinyl. I did have to turn up the volume more than usual but it’s great. Highly recommend as long as you find a good copy but they seem readily available.

        My copy has constant surface noise (very minimal) & some constant clicks by the end of side B (25 seconds) - Still the pressing is magnificent and rich.

          Sound: Clear perfect sound, volume is a bit low, no background noise at all

          Record: Beautiful colour

            I’ve never heard this album so clearly before (never previously had this on vinyl.) There is wonderful separation and a clear sound overall. Such a beautiful album and a wonderful pressing. 💖

              I've got to say Mute know how to do pressings. This, like their previous coloured re-releases.. Is beautifully pressed, it's clean, flat and sounds crystal clear.

              10/10 Mute - Top of the class

                Any discernible difference in sound quality for this edition? Still waiting for mine.

                  Could somebody post pictures of the gatefold sleeve? Is the inside picture different from the original 2010 issue?
