    Hilarious that they have just announced a 10th anniversary with an uninspired cover image, identical track list and probably flimsier and cheaper paper cover, which costs more than this 🙄 Love Kendrick’s music but his last two vinyl campaigns have been overpriced garbage while his record company still sells this!

      One of the best albums ever and I'm glad I have a copy that does it justice!

        I think I have this record?
        I got this visiting a record store in the US, which is weird for a purportedly European pressing. It's the only one with the same style of runout mark, catalog number on all parts, lack of braille, and stylization of text on the back cover. However, my runout stamps are as follows:
        4731100-A 135561E1/T
        4731100-B 135561E2/Z
        4731100-C 135561E3/X
        4731100-D 135561E4/AA
        Additionally, the text on the back has the second line appear to be longer from the (blurry low-res) photo than my copy and it does not say "Made in Europe." It is possible I have a different pressing?

          Pretty sure this is the pressing I got but I have an etching variant not listed. Picked up in a Target.

          4731100-A 135561A-E1-V
          4731100-B 135561B-E2-T
          4731100-C 135561C E3-X
          4731100-D 135561D E4-T

          Vinyl was very clean with no scratches or surface wear from the paper sleeve sit came in. Deep bass, great tunes.

            This is a prize winning pressing. I've a good collection of records and as far as sound quality this is up with my best. An absolute future classic.

              Greatest album in the history of recorded music so far!

              Changed my life.

                So good! Five stars (I can’t figure out how to do the stars?) Those “pops and clicks” are from the samples used (in track A1 at least)… probably not from the vinyl itself.

                  One of the best sounding albums in my vinyl collection. 9/10. Unfortunately the records were packaged in flimsy paper inner sleeves. I'd recommend replacing them with high quality anti static inner sleeves to not leave scratches.

                    some pops and clicks. apart from that this is a wonderful sounding pressing. full, dynamic & warm. i adore this record.
