    Apparently this has been repressed, as there are several M copies for sale. Has anyone bought the presumed recent repress and could confirm that it's the same Matt @ Alchemy cut?

      Absolutely fantastic, compared to the US pressing this sounds like a totally different hifi remastering. Great dynamics.

        This press is superb. Amazing bass when compared to digital releases. It has weight. Also the rest of the sound spectrum is great. Vinyl is very quiet and clean out of the sleeve. I wish that one day there will be deluxe double 45rpm version together with EP. It totally deserves it.

          Weird to see everyone gravitating to the UK pressing. I have both copies and I think this pressing, with MATT @ ALCHEMY, sounds much better.
