I'm guessing the re-press was for the off-centered pressing. Side one is better. We'll see how the other sides are.Yes I did. My first copy was off centered and distorted. I thought they had made a mistake and sent me a 2nd copy by error, that copy played fine when I spun it. If you received one too, I guess they replaced all their orders.
NathanLurker wrote:@nathan, I thought the same. I emailed them and got a reply that they were replacing all initial copies. I imagine they got quite a few emails asking about the 2nd copy. Mine sounds better also. Still slightly off-centered but not nearly as noticeable as the first.tim28212 wrote:Did anyone else get a replacement for their initial pressing of this from Varese Sarabande?

I still have some surface noise which is noticeable on the quieter tracks, especially on the first disc.

Mandy on black vinyl is my favorite thing right now. Mood music.
