I don't love this pressing. It's cut very hot and sounds a bit brickwalled, so as a result, it provides quite a fatiguing experience. I know it's supposed to have a very lo-fi sound, but the constant blaring, undynamic loudness is just tiring to listen to. I didn't feel very immersed in the music. -
My first copy had a defect 'blob' in the vinyl which caused a repeating noise, so i had it replaced with another copy.
My second copy has a bit more static and pops in other parts (not Portishead samples) compared to my first copy, but at least it's free of any major defects..
Apart from these minor static pops, the sound is pretty dynamic and clear overall. If anything, it's a little too treble heavy.
The cover is a fairly thin-ish cardboard single cover with two white paper inners. About as basic as you can get !
No printed inner sleeves, card or poly-bags.
