    If you are in a record shop holding this and wondering if you should…yes you should.

      This sounds fine on my system, good quiet pressing, nice punchy midrange. A few too many mid-slow tunes, but the uptempo ones shine on wax.

        I don't know if it's the production or the pressing but my copy sounds very flat and muffled.

          Great pressing, nice and quiet, packaging simple, but effective. The music - Wire do it again, another consistent, high quality release of their signature sound..
