    Mine is very nice. Barely any surface noise. Was there supposed to be an insert? It's a gatefold so I figured there would be something in the second sleeve? Mine as just empty. The centre hole is too small as well. It takes some effort to put it on/take off the turntable. Great sound, though!

      Dead quiet background and virtually no surface noise out of the package. What few ticks and pops were there are minimal after a cleaning on my VPI 16.5. Its a very good pressing and sounds absolutely amazing.

        Noise floor is pretty low - my amateur guess says that this was done on virgin vinyl.

        But like all Kranky releases, this came with the record housed in a paper sleeve. My copy obviously came with lots of paper scuffing, and also cloudy discoloration spots on the disc.

          I can only echo the positive sentiments regarding this fantastic record. Lovely reissue and an excellent pressing with virtually no surface noise. Thanks to Kranky for reminding me just how much I love this album.

            Fantastic reissue and the music is splendid - at the end of the day, this is all that matters.

              Mine sounds really good, almost no surface noise. Was surprised at the paper inner tho.

                I think I got a bum pressing. Surface noise everywhere and lots of jumping.

                Edit: Gave it a soft cleaning and a respin. Much better. Very strange to have so much surface noise out of the wrap, but these things happen. Listening to the album so far and it is a lovely pressing with nice clarity and an accurate sound stage from the digital--and as with a truly great vinyl pressing, new sounds discovered in the album that you didn't catch on a digital listen. If your copy has a lot of surface noise, clean the record. Something might have happened in the supply chain.

                  Cannot fault the music. Is a truly sublime album that I’ve enjoyed on CD for 20 years. The pressing does however have a number of click and pops throughout which is a shame, especially noticeable on music so quiet. Was going to see if I could get another copy, but seems to have been a pressing issue from comments here.

                    I cannot thank Kranky enough for repressing this gem.

                    My copy has some tiny clicks but the overall quality is sublime!

                      Gorgeous pressing of an amazing record. Music has so much space to breathe. The very occasional bass touches are jaw dropping. Love it so much.
