    Hi all,

    I saw some beautiful and expensive Mint sealed copies listed here. Just want to warn you about my story...

    A friend of mine picked-up for me a so called "Mint sealed" copy of a Japanese press in Paris () from a store which is listing here and many others "Mint sealed" nice records.

    My friend is not a collector/expert and despite the shrink had been opened and the record checked, he didn't see the very light hairlines and spindle marks difficult to see at day light.

    The record is more or less NM all around and an insert was missing. It costed me probably twice the price I should have been paying for. It's not bad grading, it's simply robbery.

    So, be careful, famous old records still sealed are pretty rare on the market. Only real collectors and very serious stores like some I'm in touch with in Japan and the US can be trusted. And unfortunately more and more robbers like that shop in Paris are re-sealing records to make more money faster. I gave it a try. Too bad for me. A second try is not necessary, just don't buy anything from that guy.

        Having a hard time discerning which vinyl copy I have. I purchased it sometime in 2015/2016 for a fact and the runouts closely match the 180 gram 2013 release, but those variants have Roman numerals and mine do not. I weighed the vinyl and they come in approximately 180 grams. I'm wondering if I should add my variant to the 2013 release even though the runouts closely match the 2020 release, but then again, I didn't buy it then, those variants don't have the United pressing "u" etching, and aren't 180 gram. Aside from that, the jacket sleeve I have is very thick and my release also came with a card. If anyone has any info, it would be greatly appreciated!

          So the 2022 reissue is a new cut? Has anyone received yet to comment on the sibilance issues?

            This album is dead quiet and plays fantastic, wow! Great pressing, worth the money.

              Repress appears to be coming in January for those that don't wanna pay top price on here.

                  Not a bad track on it, one of the greatest albums of all time.

                    Minus the promo version, is this the only pressing V2 ever did of this album?

                      I own a mispress of the vinyl album:
                      the label side 3 is the label side A.
                      That makes: AB / AD
                      Does anyone have this mispress?
