So far I'm enjoying it. It is definitely master low which I had heard. But just turn the volume up right? I heard it was flat but I don't know....sounds good to me. It favors bass like you always heard modern pressings do. I have an OOP and, honestly, I'd choose this one if I could only keep one.

The only other silver label I have is the Echo & the Bunnymen Heaven Up Here and it's really good. I hear the silver label of Tears for Fears "Songs from the Big Chair" is bad but I have the '14 pressing and an OOP so haven't really given much thought to trying out the MOFI.

I have Songs From the Big Chair MOFI, and everything you’ve heard is true. 🙁

I went through multiple OPs and yeah, the MFSL does sound better. I really want to get the new Yazoo boxset. I do believe they are now releasing the remasters separately but still in the UK only for now.

Yea, I'm not a huge Yaz fan - I'm not familiar with any boxset but I'll have to give it a look. But, really, this album is about where my interest in them begins and ends. I totally appreciate Vince Clarke's place in synth pop from Depeche Mode onward, but in the pantheon of synth pop gods Clarke is a minor one (for me). However, Alison Moyet's voice is special. I could've easily imagined seeing her front a blues band in a smokey bar. Leading some synths brings a cool element.

And, my opinion (going through my second listen in a row right now) is that this pressing is dope as hell.

Stoked to get this Red/Black split edition....,but not stoked at the corner ding. Is it worth an email to Colemine/Plaid Room?

I'd email em a photo and ask for a replacement sleeve. I think they are a small enough operation they may have extra. I have had good luck with this path lately. I had new jackets mailed out (sans record) for both Stereolab and a Wooden Shjips live album. It saved me having to send back the albums so I got the jackets faster plus the replacements were in perfect shape since there wasn't any records in them.

Yup, my Mars Audiac Quintet came with a split and I was able to get just a jacket. It works.

One of his best. I have an OG. Anyone on here with the new remaster vinyl? Is it the remix version that came out in the 90s as that kicks the ass of the original 70s muffly versions

I’m guessing that’s what I’m guessing, it’s just a standard new Columbia from amazon for £17.27 (the list price is a few pence lower because we have higher VAT eugh). I’ll let you know how it sounds when it turns up!
