The vinyl itself is the culprit posted on 12/20/2011

| Here's the reason I can't give this pressing five stars: The vinyl should be much, much better. This is easily the noisiest of all the 150-, 180- and 200-gram pressings I own. I was unpleasantly surprised by all the pops and crackles, which were especially apparent on the opening couple of tracks on both sides.
Fortunately, my copy did respond well to some TLC. I used Spin-Clean to wash it, then followed it with a Gruv-Glide treatment and a swipe of the anti-static brush. The result: Significant improvement, with far less noise -- I actually started listening to the music instead of the sound quality.
The mix: I'm still trying to decide which I like most -- SACD, Blu-ray from the Immersion Box, or this. Each has its charms. The album is ... I don't know ... the aural equivalent of TAWNY, for lack of a better word. Beautiful, warm tonality throughout without being syrupy. Anyway, glad I bought it, I guess. You can never be too thin, too rich, or own too much Floyd.

Great music, not so great vinyl posted on 02/04/2011

| The music on this album is classic Pink Floyd, this album is awesome. The sound is really good, everything is well defined, from bass to high notes, everything is clear, there are some clicks and pops but just the normal in any vinyl disc; I'm yet to find a virgin vinyl without at least some clicks in it, that's the nature of the beast, I guess. The album came with a pair of stickers and three posters, which is just outstanding, they would be suitable for framing if they didn't have the fold marks, but they are just awesome that's a lot of extras for a record and expected on a 30th year anniversary edition. The quality of the vinyl seems to be there but the record I received was warped; I requested return instructions two days ago and I'm still waiting for a response from Acoustic Sounds as to how to return it in exchange for another one; how they will solve this issue will determine any future purchases from this company, though it is a mfgn. defect.

This is the best pressing out there posted on 10/15/2009

| I've compared this pressing to the what are reportedly the best pressings of DSOTM: both MFSL pressings, Japanese pressings (including the Pro-Use pressing), and the rare UK quad pressing. This pressing is easily superior to each of these older copies. The clarity is amazing.
Don't bother with any other audiophile pressings of DSOTM. You'll only end up paying much, much more for an inferior product. This pressing is IT.
One minor gripe: the pressing quality doesn't match the quality of the sonics. Apparently this edition was pressed in the Netherlands. I wish they had opted for Japan. My copy was a little warped, with a little surface noise here and there (resolved with a good cleaning). I think an album like this deserved more a meticulous pressing.
Still, overall, 5 huge stars.
