I originally got this last year and was hopeful a full year later, the surface noise issue would be fixed, but no.

I swapped for this and tried my luck but it's noisy as all hell too.

I had the earlier VMP press and was experiencing the same issues as everyone else. Lots of noise during the more quiet parts. I sold it and ordered the TMV VMP bundle in November 2021. I just got it yesterday and this copy sounds MUCH better. Very pleased with all the others as well. Thanks, VMP!

I had two earlier GZ pressings that were sent to me in July and August that both had the noise issue for the first minute of side A. I sent a video+audio to VMP and got put on their waiting list for a later GZ repress which shipped out at the end of October. I played both, and I was happy to hear the issue was resolved. I feel the sound quality on this new pressing has a pleasingly silent floor and terrific dynamic range throughout. One of my October pressings is the same gold & black marble as the earlier ones, but the other October pressing is an extremely dark gold & black marble and was my preferred when I compared the two.

Aside from surface noise issues, this is an ok pressing at best. No dynamics, everything sounds extremely compressed/brickwalled and loses clarity in loud sections. Would probably be better to invest in the original or MOV pressing for great sound quality

I have had both clouds hill and this version. The clouds hill, also coloured variants, sounds much better in terms of surface noise. And I did receive a replacement of the VMP, however the noise floor was still quite bad from the GZ press as usual. The optimal pressed CH editions are the way to go!

Replacement copy is perfect! Thanks VMP for sorting it out.

Got my replacement. Dead flat and quiet. Been waiting for a well-mastered version of this album for years. Thank you, VMP, for stepping up and standing behind your product.
ronniec1006 Nov 20, 2021
Got my replacement. Came warped which is causing a hiss on side d. Sides a-c sounded decent though. None of the surface noise on the first disc like the first copy had.
Aynddufraine Nov 20, 2021
Got my third copy (recent repress) and it sounds great! So happy!!!
haunted_eyeballs Nov 18, 2021
Just received my new copy as well, and it’s much much better. As others have said, a tad bit of static n pops, but it’s absolutely better than the first run.
