Turbonegro - Sexual Harassment flac mp3 download

I have the US pressing, and my copy doesn't seem to have the issues that Eviltoastman has - no scratches on the sleeve, no scratches on the media, and it sounds fine to me. Also worth noting - the outer sleeve has an embossed image of a neon sign/hat, but the embossing is glow in the dark. I thought this was a pretty cool touch.

This is a great album. However this is a poor pressing.The album when new comes with a clear Turbonegro sticker affixed to the front of the shrinkwrap. Upon removing this labelled shrinkwrap, the sleeve had multiple parallel scratched to the sleeve. These scratches were on the sleeve prior to the shrinkwrap being applied as the shrinkwrap was not damaged in anyway.The record comes with an mp3 download coupon printed on a scrap of standard copier paper, scissor cut. Not a problem. It a nice touch if a little slapdash.Removing the record from the printed inner sleeves, the record had several 4mm wide surface scratches from the runout, to the outer lip of the record. Another example of slapdash manufacturing.The surface scratches themselves do not affect play, however the sound is thin, with no dynamism. It sounds muted. There's surface noise not caused by the surface scratches but this cannot be noticed during the louder passages which this album has plenty of. The sound sounds splintered too with vocals and guitars sounding splintered and a lot of the sound lacks proper definition, which is not the case with the digital versions.I would urge those wishing to buy a copy of this album on vinyl to avoid this US pressing and to consider the European pressings. I would avoid this particular pressing.
