    This is an amazing record by Robert Smith and Co. Here we have a lot of the music on the only one disc, but it sounds good.

        Bought two different copies of this version, both sounds the same - very very quietly:(

          Is it just my copy or is this recorded very quietly? Have to seriously crank up the volume

            I have bought a copy of this but... there's no "Fascination street" at the end of side A, the last song is "Lullaby".
            "Fascination street" is written on cover and label but it's NOT in the record.
            Plus, there is absolutely *nothing* written in the runout grooves.
            What is it? Maybe a counterfeit edition (but the sleeve and the labels seems original to me) or an early issue? :-?

              So I have a copy of this LP with runouts Side A: 3 20 A (letter lying sideways) 1 and Side B: S2-2 12 37. The music on it is totally weird because it is a misprint. When you play it you get treated to an hour of lively German polka/folk music instead of Disintegration. In every other respect; cover, sleeve, label, the catalogue number on the runouts, even the track divisions, it is the genuine thing though. Has anyone heard of misprinted copies of Disintegration floating around or do I have a rarity in my collection?

                honestly: such a great album, BUT: such a bad press quality.
