This pressing is an Optimal Pressing. There is confusion on whether the US release is an Optimal Pressing or not due to various complaints about pressing quality on the US release. The new 2022 reissue is pressed in CZECH.



The only way to distinguish the two on a sealed record is to look at the "XL" logo on the back cover.


On this version the logo is placed partially over a row of trees. On the other version the XL Recordings logo is placed over the white field.


I have provided pics to show that this is the EU version and is harder to find in the US. 


Fantastic sound and quality on this pressing.
