    Both discs of my copy are slightly warped, and there is a significant amount of noise on the last half of side A and the very end of side C, other than that it's an enjoyable listen, the remastering was nicely done

      I have developed a whole new application for Lightbulb Sun listening to it from front to back on vinyl.

        Sound alright, but terrible pressing. Mine came bent and with a blob (bubble) stuck in a groove

          so how does this compare to the kscope version? not sure why they keep putting these PT albums out. runout looks pretty similar.

            Does anyone know if this is the original 2000 mix or the 2007 remix?
