      Agree with the previous comments. Very solid pressing, silent and sound has depth. Vinyl looks amazing too.

        Anyway to tell the difference between this pressing and the the GZ Media one here without opening it? https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/release/20199340-Pixies-Trompe-Le-Monde. I bought a copy without a Made in Czech Republic sticker on the back, but it was still the GZ pressing, it has same bar code numbers as this release as well.

          Great pressing, beautiful graphic and the quality is pretry much perfect, no clics and pops, a solid choice

            I can't comment on the other, seemingly more common pressing for this reissue (the CZ one: https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/release/20199340-Pixies-Trompe-Le-Monde), but my MPO copy arrived today and sounds fantastic. I don't have an original or earlier pressing to compare, but this just explodes out of the speakers the way that this record is meant to. I'm using a Technics 1211 MK2 (either 1990 or most likely 2000 as they were manufactured every 10 years iirc) with a Pyle pre-amp through a Yamaha receiver ca. 2003 and Pinnacle bookshelf speakers from the '90s.
