    As others have said, this vinyl is flawless.
    Superb sound and a beautiful package.
    My copy is numbered 004436.

    I now have this on vinyl, CD and DVD, the latter being probably the most stunning concert DVD ever.
    I also saw them at Leeds Arena on the same day that I bought the vinyl.
    Amazing!

      Maybe not as dynamic as the BD release in of sound, but has the natural sound of vinyl, which makes it a thoroughly pleasant experience. Just do not come expecting the thunderous bass of the digital version.

        Masterpiece album, which sounds really impressive. The quality of vinyl is just perfect, there are no surface noise, pops or other shit. It sounds like the digital version, with all vinyl's benefits and without any vinyl's issues.

          A simply breathtaking release. There's a tiny bit of surface noise on the discs, but the sound quality is astounding. Reliving memories of this concert has been fun with this vinyl edition of that particular evening. The packaging is gorgeous (glossy tri-fold), the color of the records is gorgeous and the entire concert is spaced out properly across the three discs. It's also a fairly dynamic sounding release. Plenty of information above 20KHz as well, showing this was sourced from the original recordings (which were done at 24/96). The only product that beats this is the blu-ray edition because of the visual additions. Highly recommended!
