I haven't had any issue with the repress on my system - sounds fine to me, as does the Laughing Stock pressings.

The repress is terrible. To start they have a bad off-centering issue which results in surface noise. The metalwork is awful and quality control non existent. Seriously, listening to this album on vinyl is like torture. A real shame than no one gave a fuck about the quality control. They even misspelled stuff and they get the year wrong....2001 instead of 2011. YES - Ba Da Bing's attempt at making this amazing music translate to vinyl is an absolute fucking joke.

The represss demands a good quality system. In my opinion the repress sounds excellent.

this Boss piece is very old. You are disillusioned if you think he was commissioned recently to write for a tv show.

I heard he was returning with an instrumental piece for a TV show called Boss. The piece is from some music he did for a movie called Peacock that apparently wasn't used. Maybe there's still hope?
