    Perfect pressing !!! Almost without clicks, pops, surface noise or other issue. Really very clean sound in virgin black vinyls. Also the packaging are fucking amazing. Like a hardcover book. 100/10 !!!!! A classic masterpiece of drone.

        This might be one of the highest quality records I own. It feels like holding a book.

          Incredible packaging on this one, thick textured tip on outer jacket, thick printed inner sleeves with silver ink, rad art. Sound quality is good, well mastered classic record. Put mine in poly lined inners.

            Beautiful fucking packaging and impeccable sound. The album is a classic, so nothing to add on that side.
