    Quality pressing throughout. No notable background noise on my copy.

      Superb pressing ! I was skeptical about the colored vinyl but it's a real audiophile press. Very quiet and detailed. Sound is clear and dynamic. A great one !

        No mark from Greg calbi in the wax? Does he usually have something in there?

          Awesome pressing, sounds really pure, and mine has almost nothing in the way of pops etc. Really solid pressing, looks great too

            It's a good pressing with some clicks here & there but not too annoying on the whole. Yet, I think Boxer is doing better as far as sound quality is concerned. But yeah, this is a very good pressing, no doubt!

              How does this sound so analog and uncompressed? It’s as if it was recorded on tape in the early 90s.

                As usual - Tha National has made an audiophile pressing of this album. Stunning quality.

                  The mastering sounds good but my two copies are very ticky. It's a little bit disturbing. Not a nice pressing for me.

                    Without prompting, I thought my copy was yellow. But I can see a greenish tint to it.

                    At the same time, my copy does not have the JONZ LOUD etched in the runout on either side. I bought it at their concert in Berkeley this past summer.
