    I only have the second LP intact from my original vinyl release I bought in 1996 (thanks to my friend who ”kept it safe” for me when I was working in another country).
    Anyway, I was able to A/B the long ambient track and I can confirm that it sounds MUCH better on this new release. In OG release there is much distortion and crackle in higher end.
    So I would advice getting this repress instead

      its a real good pressing and the sound quality is good . No surface noise and balanced . Filosofem is one gem .

        Sound very very good!!! No Noise, nice gatefold.... Highly recommended 100%

          How many time have they repress this version ? Mine is still supposed to be 2008 but I bought it new. Amazing sound but a lot of clics on face C....

            No pops and minimal surface noise. However, just feels bland and flat many times. Good pressing overall. The quality of the cover is low...

              Seriously a good sounding edition. And surprisingly dead silent during ambient tracks... So even Back on Black does excellent stuff sometimes.

                Yes, the sound is breathtaking, but that (and the many inserts, even when most of them are promos for other products) is probably it's only redeemable quality. The art on outer sleeve has a low resolution, but you could throw the vibe of harsh mixing at it and go with your day.
                They did come with poly-lined sleeve, so there is that, but the records themselves are paper thin, thanks to which they are little wobbly, but nothing terrible. On most tracks, you wouldn't be able to tell, but on side 3, the surface noise with occasional clicks is quite hearable.
                Still, it is about music, and other sides don't have much noise between each song, but it's hanging by a thread from getting less stars.
                Edit: Sorry, this has only one insert, which itself is promo. Mistook it for the Hvis Lyset Tar Oss release from same year.

                  Amazing pressing, I know that back in black gets a bad rap but they did something good with this release. It might just be the lofi nature of the album doing it favors, but this record sounds genuinely breath taking. Really really recommend this pressing if you want to own this physically.

                    Blown away by the sound on this pressing. It feels like I'm listening to a new album.

                      I'm seeing pretty positive reviews on sound quality but I'm still skeptical with it being Back on Black

                      Is this pressing identical to the 2005 Back on Black pressing?
