Anyone had this album on vinyl yet? I had mine Friday, sent back Saturday. It must be the worst pressing i have ever heard - like listening to an old 78!:(

Listening on Qobuz in CD quality it is fine I.e. get a digital copy.

Vinyl - so random. One good reason to dislike it. Lots to like about it, though.

The package I had had the CD, Download and Vinyl. The vinyl was 120g? and not sure who pressed it. I have their first album and 11:11 but these were pressed by Music On Vinyl on 180g.
The recording was also very quiet so had to turn amp up half way but this just emphasised the background hash which was unbelievable - I,m not talking about clicks, pops and static, this was very very noisy vinyl like it had not been cleaned for 100 years!!

Ask for a refund? What else can be said it is obviously poor.

Been listening to this on the main system via Qobuz. It is a stunning recording - definitely up there. Speed, dynamics, clarity - the works really. Great album.

Yeah - vinyl mastered by Bernie Grundman so should be top notch. Maybe I just received a dud pressing. I have asked for a replacement so fingers crossed!

I've just finished listening to my copy of this for the first time and I am pleased to say it's OK. You must have a faulty copy. Mine came from Amazon with the cd which I have in the car.
