    What can i say that's not already been said. One of the best albums of all time. Perfect in almost any way. Beth's amazing vocals really play into the dark atmosphere of the album.

      Is there a certain way to recognize a sealed (or even unsealed) copy of the first pressing from the following ones?
      Cheers

        Anyone possesses a vinyl version with "It's a fire" on it?
        I've read about the greece version, but no confirmation until now.
