    I didn't think there were two pressings of this. I thought it was simply a 180 gr pressing.

    I thought there was only the 180g pressing limited to 1000 copies as well. But observ might be right. I remember paying through the nose to get a copy of this online, and then finding it in a shop in Camden for ??12 no more than a week later. The one from Camden definitely felt like it was lighter, but the sleeve and inside liner notes sheet were the same.1b,121b,121This is just what I can remember though. My collection is split up at the minute so I can't do a proper comparison. The tracklisting is exactly the same and there was no noticeable difference in sound quality for what it's worth.b,121b,121Where did you hear about there being two pressings observ?

    i believe the sleeves are reversed...i.e. the picture (real/reflection) matches up with the express riding on the back, while the other pressing has it switched...also the vinyl is thicker...b,121b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/know.gif" alt="" 211i think

    Which pressing is one of the top ten albums of all time, any kind of music, any genre, ever?
