Anyone have any experience with this version?

Reviews for the standard pressing have been less-than stellar so far... but the album (on digital) is a treat !

Their Room on Fire release was great. Can't wait for this record to arrive in the mail.

BTW, their next rock releases are: 40oz. To Freedom by SUBLIME... and then Raw Power by The Stooges.

Sounds fantastic. Great pressing, no surface noise, pops, etc. Dynamic sound. Le Boob Oscillator... the way it was meant to be heard.

p.s Comes with nice poly-lined sleeves. Just be sure to replace that funky plastic outer sleeve for something... See full review

What a record..... What an artistic vision.

'How Could You Break My Heart' is an all-time tune. (I'd bet it could be a top 3 hit in any decade).

Very nice pressing: dynamic sound. Virtually no surface noise.

Underrated album. Jam packed with blues/folk/soul/rock gems.

Fantastic Japanese pressing. A treat for the ears.

Dynamic sound, not sure if it's cut from digital or not, but sounds colorful and dynamic to my ears.
Perfectly flat and clean out of the sleeve. Polyliner, nice.

One of the all-time classic rap albums.

Absolutely flawless pressing.

Fantastic copy. This album was early proof that Conor Oberst was/is a terrific writer ("I keep drinking the ink from my pen")

One of those albums that you always meant to get, but somehow didn't yet. Side 2 has been spinning on repeat since I... See full review

Explosive Jazz from one of the greats, during one of his most prolific years.

Perfectly flat record and dynamic recording. Booklet/notes from the always insightful Mark Richardson.

Another home run for VMP!

VMP hit it out of the park with this one. Love when the ROTM is something that was not on my radar.

Flat pressing. Dynamic sound. Powerful music!

Outstanding sound. DaP1 never sounded so good :)

The records came perfectly flat. Feel more like 200g vinyl actually.

They were a little dusty out of the box, but nothing a record brush couldn't take care of.

I have the 2021 reissue. Sounds great to my ears, I did some light EQ, as it sounded a bit too bright.

My copy is silent and has nice dynamic range.

However, I don't have an OG pressing to compare it to :D
