Yah. But before I do, how much do you have to spend?
Uh, technically no limit? But I’m also a cheapskate
This series is not only the best sounding Björk pressings, but also they are some of the best sounding records I own.
I picked them up for $30 each new back when $30 was a lot for a new record.

Cool. Cool cool cool. I'll just sell a kidney.
Okay maybe I do have a limit.
Get a pink uk first press of post:
And a 2000 180g Homogenic:
The 2000 180g of all the albums are good, so you could get the Post from that series too and feel good about it.
I haven't owned the more recent represses(2015 on) of any Björk album, but ive only heard terrible things.
That's why I asked about budget first! I'm not regularly sending people links to $900 records when they ask for a recommendation.

One of the recent represses of greatest hits uses the DMM plates apparently from the series you posted. But think it’s an issue of same UPC with a few other versions so may be hard to track down
Gling-Gló from that series is still available for under $70, if you love that album as much as I do.

Ooh good to know! I'll have to keep it in mind if I ever see open copies out in the wild. It's not something I need, but if I could grab it at a decent price I would.
My only Björk regret is not picking up this version of Vespertine. But like i said, $30 was so much then! You could get sub pop releases for $12-$15 at the time.

I never really got into Bjork until more recently. Don’t own any on vinyl but may try to look into it…ordered greatest hits on Amazon tonight to see if it used the DMM plates…will update here after I get it!

Hah I haven’t spun it yet so maybe it sucks! But figured Amazon was a good place to buy from in case I needed a return
I do remember seeing those stickers on pressings in Newbury Comics way back yonder. So I'm sure I've touched these Bjork records in the past. I need a moment...Grab me some while you're back there please
Also, I picked up Moonbeams from the Amazon post a while back. First copy had something baked into the pressing that I didn't even bother playing, just requested a return. New copy came today and is dirty but just surface stuff that'll come off in a cleaning. For any other Evans-heads, seems like this is a safe "cheap" copy.
