    Anyone here who has compared this to the 2014 pressing? Price aside I'm wondering which remaster is better all-around. Or should I just look for an original? Same story with Request btw.

        Top notch pressing, fantastic clean sound. Lovely packaging and a great record overall. As the title implies there is a great variety on this album. Happy to have this one in my collection.

            Why do they release such great records only in Japan?

              Amazing production, amazing mastering... but the music itself it quite poor to be honest. Once you get overt the hype of Plastic Love there is not much here to enjoy. An overrated album if there ever was one in this genre.

                anyone else got their copy with a beautiful picture (not printed on paper) along with the vinyl? (ordered directly from Moon Records site)

                  This is easily one of, if not the best pressed and mastered albums I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I struggle to think of any record of mine that comes close in of dynamics and overall clarity. The scale on this thing is immense, and my copy had almost ZERO surface noise. Dunno what an OG sounds like compared to this but how much better could it get?
