I'll be curious to hear what you think of the master/pressing.

So the master is fine. It’s better than any of the 2012 stereo repressed but it’s not as good as the 2014 monos or the Giles’s 50th ones. The pressing I have is excellent, really quiet. But for me I’m in this for the mix, I really like it and am happy to have it on vinyl at last! Have you got the copy you bought yet?

Yep! Perfect flawless pressing, and I agree on the master. The Let It Be box that I briefly had sounded better in terms of fidelity, but I love the clean mix and the fidelity on Naked isn't terrible, just isn't a big wow factor. Also the Let It Be had horrible Radiohead Kid A Mnesia esque distortion all over several tracks so I gave it up quick.

Jesus all these shit pressings. The QC is all over the place. I’m glad that my box was fine! Got a pressing with 3 shards of paper pressed into it today. Luckily it actually managed to be pressed right into the middle of the vinyl so the needle didn’t touch it for the sound to be affected but still, WTF!

Yep, one of my BRMC albums has paper in it too. Also has right channel noise through most of side one. I just threw it under the bed. Not gunna bother with a replacement...
 
Someone mentioned Beatles memorabilia recently and this is my favorite - I went to Paul McCartney's show at Candlestick Park in 2014. It was the last event there before they tore it down and had Macca play as it was the last venue the Beatles played (minus the odd rooftop gig) These were handed out by ushers on our way out of the venue.
