Cat#s '9031 72663-1' (EastWest) and 'MR 449L' (no space before 'L') (Merciful Release) appear on the 'lyrics' side of the inner sleeve because the inner sleeve 'artwork' has been directly copied from the original 1990 release; these cat#s do not correspond to this reissue.

    Holy crap is this thing cut HOT! It's almost painful to listen to with headphones turned up more than halfway volume, and even blasted out of my speakers there's no distortion or loss at super high volumes. This pressing is nearly dead silent surface-noise wise, and the mastering is crystal clear. Like Andrew Eldritch whispering directly in your ear clear. The mastering is nothing short of exhilarating, and reminds me a lot of the production on Floodland (and sounds a whole lot better than the Floodland remaster by Mobile Fidelity). Very loud, upfront and aggressive. I'm super pleased with this reissue, especially as finding an original seems like it would cost into the hundreds of dollars, and I can't imagine the audio quality being much better than this.
