Edited one year agoFantastic sounding release. Great soundstage, nice and dynamic, and has that extra sharp punch of a DMM press. Bullet the Blue Sky sounds more brutal on this press that it ever has to my ear (in a good way) but at the same time, Edge's airy delay sounds nice and crisp elsewhere. And the bass comes through crystal clear on this press. If I had to criticize it, the cymbals can be a little harsh (again, maybe due to having some DMM sharpness) and there's a touch of sibilance in the vocals in places, but I'm nitpicking. Sounds awesome. -

I picked this up last summer. Never noticed it was translucent but it in fact was when I held it up to the light.
This does sound really good! -
Recently bought this one translucent brown sounds great quite album excellent sound quality not sure if there's a better one but this one is amazing worth it -
Mine has the SP and is brown/translucent and it sounds amazing, so glad I picked this up at my local shop. Didn't realize it was translucent until I brought it home -
Let's not forget to give credit to Bono for his work on the unique instrument, Harmoncia!
-
Don't believe this is a specialty records press but rather an Electrosound LA pressing indicated by the DMM in the runouts. Not all variants in this listing have the SP but all do have the DMM. -

This entry matches my copy EXCEPT my copy has no "EAST" or anything else around the spindle. Maybe not all copies have it?
