Either that or they oversold and knowingly sent out the original one to a bunch of people.

The gatefold/180g release has not been in print since 2017.

They were unaware that their own product/inventory was the repress in a single jacket-pocket and 150g wax, or they intentionally mislead customers about what they were buying.

And they touted this thing as a 25th anniversary release!

At least there's that...lovely...t-shirt!

I have the 150g remastered from original analog tracks that I bought from the merch booth at a 2019 show. It says 2014 on the single jacket so I assume it’s the 2018 repress? Anyhow, does anyone with the same release have an awful hiss sound on the S’s in the vox? I’ve recalibrated my tonearm and it’s a brand new stylus, all my other records sound fine. I just didn’t see any of the same issues on discogs/Amazon reviews of the album and wondering if anyone else got a bad press.

I have this same sibilance issue on my UTTAD vinyl. It’s especially prominent on the side that has Satellite. New/lightly used stylus (Ortofon 2M red), have never had this problem with any other album.

Yeah, it starts getting bad on side C for mine, #34 is so hot it’s unlistenable. From what I’ve read in the threads and reviews everyone praises the pressing so this would be the first LP I own that is an anomaly.
