I have this version, it’s the first reissue after the original release and has the exact same matrix as a European original pressing. Sounds really good, deep, warm, clear with no surface noise on my particular copy. In essence it’s a beauty and has really nice printing on the sleeve too.

Sibilant voices in most songs, exasperating ssss, inaccurate bass. . .

I think the bass on this pressing is great, low and rumbling. Very quiet pressing too, in of little static/noise. Has a very "late night, all back to mine" feel about it. Lovely.

I find it with lack of punch, a bit muffled. I now have an original and it's much better.

this release have on front the shiny typography and matte picture, on back : the shiny picture and matte typography

(see the pics)

I have to put the finger on it since I've seen other copy which were entirely matte
