      a really like the album, but if something i have to sa: seriously amazing pressing!!!!

        Just bought this and firstly...wow..this could almost immediately be one of the best pressings I now own. Everything is just so perfectly balanced, instrumentation crystal clear and low end nice and deep and rich. Secondly, I've added poly inners to the cardboard inners to retain the pristine vinyl and I can get them back in just fine by turning them around lol can't believe how many people have commented that they can't get the records in. So so glad to have this in my collection. It'll sit proudly up there as one of my faves in the "dance" section.

          Echoing what others have said below here but unreal pressing of arguably one of the greatest dance records of all time. A true classic done right, no doubt.

            The sleeve's width is technically large enough to fit 3 records in, but I suppose the cardboard innersleeves add too much thickness which makes it hard to fit all of them back in.
            Great album otherwise, good sound quality and very happy to have it as some of the tracks were left out on the original vinyl release of the album.

              I don't know what people's issue with the sleeves is, mine are fine. Better than that though, this pressing is wonderful, very impressed with the sound and definitely one of the better electronic pressings in my collection.

                Difference between angry and happy people in this thread is that happy people turn the records 90 degrees counterclockwise before they put them back into the cover

                  Astonishing Pressing, totally rediscovering this classic piece of fine electronic music! Great grooves and ladscapes! The cover is largelly big enough to have all the 3 records fitting inside. You'll not get disapointed!

                    Picked this up in 2020. It is sounding superb. Deep, rich bass. Clean crisp hi-hats. This has never sounded so good. I’ve been listening to this since it’s initial release albeit on mp3 formats. So happy to finally own it in vinyl. No problems fitting all 3 vinyl sleeves into the cover.

                      No code included but vinyl fits perfectly in sleeves and with paper sleeve. Excellent rich bass for my listening vs digital s from amazon. Happy to own it!
