it would have been nice to have an alternate take or two of "Don't Let the Sun..." rather than some of the sub par ones included.

My copy sounds great. I think I detected a little bit of crackle only on "I've Seen The Saucers" (Side 2, Trk 1). Otherwise, it sounds great, very detailed, clear and dynamic. The blue vinyl is quite nice.

The mix on Stinker Extended is awful? You can barely hear the vocals at all. Absolutely baffled.

Was anyone else expecting one disc to be a leopard skin print? Promo photos indicated as such.

Blessedly this pressing is a gem! I was worried of the pressing plant, the color as well. It sounds fantastic! Dynamic. Flat. The bonus material is great! Including some favorite b-sides and Stinker Extended is fantastic! Quite chuffed with it all around. I do wish it included a download (as I wish last years RSD of "Don't Shoot Me..." had as well). Sorry to hear others pressing are not so tidy!

Sounds good when it isn't clicking ore emulating a scratch (which has happened seven times just on side 1). A friend queued for 4 hours to get this for me and this is what I get?. So utterly fed up of this - shit pressing plant quality control despite charging a fortune. Same thing happened with the green vinyl "Tumbleweed Connection" that I paid a small fortune for from America - sealed and pristine looking but full of crackle and clicks.

Nice touch: the handwritten sentence, 'This album is dedicated to the lads in gold and black' on the spine

Great sounding with good dynamics ( as with all his remastered reissues) and the bonus tracks are interesting with a good extended version of Stinker. Also flat, quiet and a nice colour.

My copy of this release has started to pinhole...just be aware.

GZ media pressings are often hit or miss, but this is a hit. Perfectly flat pressing with minimal to no surface noise. As for the mix - I found the sound pretty dynamic with hard hitting drums and guitar licks that didn’t sound compressed. The album itself music wise is good. A solid EJ album, but not in his top 5 imo.
