    Just paid $10.00 for a preowned copy of this pressing. Sound is magnificent. Amazing how a nice vinyl version can lead to a positive reassessment of a particular album in an artists catalogue. I would call "Accelerate" underrated.

      Just bought mine, still sealed. Perfectly flat, great sound, very happy w purchase

        I wonder if some of these are just coming dirty? After wood gluing, my copy is approaching a dead silent background. This is a great pressing, in my opinion.

          Neither this nor the original 45rpm issue are all that enjoyable of a listen. But the 45 rpm has better defined bass and general separation compared to this reissue. Probably my least favorite mix on a wonderful album since Springsteen's Magic LP. Both are full of amazing songs that sound like a hot mess. Artistic vision, sure. But at least make it a somewhat pleasing listen at something other than 100dB!

            I was a bit worried after reading reviews on here. I must have been lucky because i had no faults. Clean, free from clicks and pops, plays flat. Sounded alot better then I thought it would. The bass packs some punch and as its a short and sweet record there is no inner groove distortion.

              Some warping just out of the sleeve. Playable, but not great quality.

                My copy is full of pops and surface noise. Not happy with this pressing.
