    my record plays beautifully at 45 rpm. No crackling or background noise. Superb pressing!

      People complaining about the speed, just slow it down... actually I found that certain sides play very nicely on 33rpm too, especially D side.
      My copy sounds great btw

        Excellent pressing. I've had mine since it came out; dead silent, still. The imaging and stereo spread is wide and open as can be. Solid punch, creamy top end; much more enjoyable than the digi version I have. I cued up side C and got worried as everything was so silent, then the track started. :) My copy most certainly is at 45 rpm and does not sound fast at all; it's identical to the rpms on my digi copy.

          just going to leave this here for the people saying this LP is crackling.
          it seems to me that this is what this record is supposed to sound like. You get the same crackling noise on the digital release.

            Sounds great to me. Doesn't seem too fast, maybe a tad but it's hard to tell. No crackling or noises (I bought it second-hand, but NM).

              Sounds a little fast. They should also know better than to not write anywhere on the packaging or labels that this is a 45rpm pressing.

                I also have a quiet pressing that sounds very good to me.

                    I'm not noticing it play too fast but the quality of the pressing is terrible! Its crackling and really noisy

                      Does anyone else find that this play a bit too fast?
