• European Edition Shines

  5 out of 5 stars

  This European edition is incredibly quiet, really well pressed. The mix and mastering are top-notch too. It's punchy, detailed, with excellent instrument separation. I'm not sure what sets this 2015 MOV and Pallas Matt Colton pressings apart, but this one definitely sounds high-end. From a quick Google search, it seems this version was pressed at Record Industry in Holland. I have zero complaints about this one. For a classic double album that's pretty much flawless and reasonably priced, I'd recommend this version. Though if you buy it sealed, you won't know which pressing you're getting until you check the deadwax. But from what I've seen, these 2015 Sony/Columbia remasters with this barcode have generally good reviews. You can buy with confidence.

• EU Version Flawless

  Having received a flawed US reissue copy that was bent and dirty, I eventually found this EU version in a Chicago shop. It's flawless. Truly flawless. No imperfections, no noise, incredible audio. I'm happy I returned the US one.

• Stunning Pressing, Flawless Album

  Wow, this is an absolutely stunning pressing of a flawless album. I swapped a few things to get a pristine copy, and I'm thrilled I did because holy cow, it sounds incredible. I'm in love with the sleeve too—it's a gatefold with a tip-on design, and that OBI is just so damn cool. I've got quite a few Japanese pressings, and this one is hands-down my favorite. It blows away even the high Japanese quality standards by a mile.

• Original Pressing Treasure

  I've got the original pressing of this album that my Dad picked up on release day in January 1980 from Strawberries in Boston. He even kept the hype and explicit warning stickers on the cover! The cover's a bit worn, but the records themselves are in great shape, easy VG+. It's one of the few albums he held onto when he was selling off his records on eBay right after I was born, and I'm so glad he did—especially since he kept the first two Clash albums too! The sound quality is fantastic, just as it should be. I don't spin this one much anymore since I've got a mint Japanese copy, but if you've got this press, you're in for a treat. It's an iconic album, one that everyone should have in their collection, in my opinion.

• Blast from the Past

  5 out of 5 stars

  I shelled out $44.99 CAD at the Coles bookstore in the Eaton Centre, downtown Toronto, and let me tell you, this record is an absolute blast! I'm thrilled they took the effort to bring it over from Europe. I feel like the reviews before mine don't quite capture how amazing it is. The soundstage is incredibly immersive, the bass is pinpoint accurate, the tonal balance is spot on, the dynamics are off the charts, it tracks beautifully on my brand new elliptical stylus, and the drums... oh, the drums! They explode out of the speakers with an energy that's out of this world. It's as good as I've heard from those highly praised MOV-derived Tim Young pressings. This is genuine system demo quality stuff! The vinyl, pressed by Pallas, is as quiet as a mouse, with just a couple of light ticks on side 1 that I'm sure will disappear with more plays or a good cleaning. Side 2 is a tad off-center, but it's nothing to get worked up about. This just proves that "180 grams sounds better" is all just marketing these days. You might not be able to tell from the cover, but if the one you find has this catalogue number and barcode, is sealed, and is at a big retail store... chances are, it's this pressing. And this is the one. No, I mean THE one. It sounds so incredible, it's ended my hunt for a vintage pressing. Hardware used: Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB turntable with ATN3600LE elliptical stylus, connected to Philips MMS321/17 multimedia speakers.
