Pressed on 180 gram, heavyweight vinyl.
Issued in a heavy-duty, tip-on style jacket.

Similar to The Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot, but with different LP2 runouts and a slightly different rear side cover--this one is missing "Music From EMI" to the left of the barcode.

Some copies were packaged with a sticker on the front jacket that reads
"180 gram
- Limited Edition Classic LP
- High Definition Virgin Vinyl Pressing For Super Fidelity
- The Nicest Thing You Can Do For Your Stylus And Your Ears
The Ultimate Record: The Way Music Was Meant To Be Heard And Great Enough For An Audiophile"

Spine reads "5099946425416 smashing pumpkins pisces iscariot Virgin Music from EMI"

    So, apparently, the US pressings (not sure if it's the case for all 3) have the advantage in of cover (heavier jacket + colored cardboard inners) & vinyl weight (200gr for the US, 180 for the EU) BUT they potentially lose them when it comes to the pressing plants (Rainbo for the US, Optimal for the EU) which is way more critical to the music.

    Mastering jobs are also different: Stan Getz II @A+R did the US ones, while Marko Kluge did the EU.

    So, my question is simple: is there a clear winner here?
    For those who have both pressings, did the infamous Rainbo QC ruined the US press? And, between the two, is there a better master?

      Everything matches up on my copy except my hype stickers numbers are on the bottom right like the euro one and it didn't come with the 180 sticker. Weird. It's Def a US press.

        Excellent release. No issues with my copy. Zero surface noise, outstanding mix and punch across the entire album. This is an awesome release!!!

          Clean and quiet. The complaints about Side 2 on other versions don’t appear to be present on this one
