Quemal
Yep, that's a bootleg all right. "modern" paper sleeve, no barcodes and etchings and some amateurish cover image upscaling tells it all... it's a counterfeit. I don't know where this originated from and why someone would bootleg such a niche album back in the days but.. it's quite a nice sounding one. A little bit muddier than the official one, but quite clean and quiet!
Warianys
Does anyone have more info on this release? I got it for $25 in a local book store. It had been imported from the UK to the bookstore. Is this an original or a reissue. My copy is in mint condition.
Lcena
Is this a legit release or a bootleg? Haven’t seen the white/green label on any other Harvest release...
Jazu
Beautiful and faithfully restored pressing from 4 Men with Beards 2006, I think it sounds better then the original.
Gholbimand
My copy of this repress has the sides reversed: "Side one" starts with 'Mercy,' other "Side one" starts with 'Practice Makes Perfect' Irregular pressing I suppose. Sounds great though.
Ventelone
Very welcome pressing. I suppose there is a tiny bit of surface noise here and there b ut I can live with that because most vinyl comes with a little bit here and there. Not as bad as others have described here. Classic record all the way.
Cildorais
I'm enjoying this pressing. Don't have the original so can't compare dynamics. I cleaned mine on an Audio Desk Pro and am not hearing the surface noise others are complaining about, so I'd suggest a deep cleaning of the record before playing. I do have the misprint for side 2; both sides are listed as "side 1" but the track listings are at least correct.
Anarawield
Save your money and don't bother, absolute horrible QC on these. My copy of this was significantly dish warped right out of the package and had some surface noise in spots. A waste of $30.
Dugor
I was lucky with the other two. I was on the fence about selling my original and swapping it out. Now I definitely will not! Thank you.
Dalallador
I like 154, but this is the one for me. This appears to be a fairly well pressed medium weight vinyl copy with faithful artwork reproduction. I've owned multiple copies over the years and the mastering here is clean and clear. A little groove swing out of Being Sucked In Again. Some very minor surface noise during Heartbeat and a bit of static as Mercy gets going. Nothing disruptive, but not perfect either.
Jesmi
My used copy of this version did not come with a printed inner sleeve. Does anybody know if there should be a printed inner sleeve with this version?
MarF
Still one of my all-time favourite albums since I heard it since about 1982!!!!
OCARO
So happy to finally get a quality copy of this on vinyl for a decent price, an underground classic if there ever was one...
Vobei
Have a Red Vinyl version of this release
Hidden Winter
Got a red vinyl copy as well and there's a misprint on the track listing on A1 "Practice make perfect". Still no release page for it?
Ximinon
Mark me down for Red Vinyl too. Indeed, a great pressing.
Oreavi
I just bought one copy and it turned to be red too.But I can't seem to find a release page here.Anyway great pressing and design.Amazing album.
Perdana
has anybody else noticed audio drop-outs on this or other European editions?
