I'm I the only person one this planet who owns a maybe one of a kind misprint of this album's CD? Bought 1990 by a friend on a flea market he found the music on the disc to be some heavy Metal noise which I then identified as the Watchtower album *control & resistance*! Who else has one ???

Also have this same insert (but paper) signed by dela from an older version of the record

Just got a pre-owned copy of this and lucky that it was in top shape... pressing is great - sounds really nice on both LPs! It's also refreshing to hear the original samples vs. the latest version on spotify and 2023 reissue on vinyl that's accessible to many. I also love the cover artwork here with the thicker outline on the fonts (compared to the 2023 reissue) and colors are vibrant. By the way all tracks are complete and in the correct order if anyone is wondering. Cheers

After the sample changes made on the new reissue this has become THE reference version given it is the full original album, samples intact, from the original tapes remastered to proper volume and spred over 2 discs. Arguably the best sample album ever created, and certainly a classic that's integrity should be preserved

Nice packaging, great colour, overall sound is pretty decent, but nothing exceptional

My runouts have the following and no mention of 'Italian Exclusive Edition' # out of 100. Hype sticker says "180 gram, LP X 2, Opaque Yellow Vinyl with Comic Insert"

I’m pretty sure this is the release I have, but the runouts are the same as those on variant 2 of this magenta pressing. Strange

This thing sounds great, super low noise floor as others described and overall everything is clean and appropriately lively. I shelled out for a new copy of the VMP release but really don't regret it, I'll have the best sounding version (to my ears) of one of my favorite albums for all time, though I hope reissues happen to bring the price down for others.
