A pinnacle reached: simply the most amazing album of the "dark wave" or electro-industrial genre that has ever been created. Nothing else even comes close, IMHO. Bridged the gap between underground acts like Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, and Front Line Assembly into pop acts like NIN and Filter.

New and skips on B2 (it was sealed). Don't buy this.

Mine also skips on So What (B2) and I bought sealed copy. Crappy stuff...

also just got a new copy of this.... no skips or pops on my copy, sound is amazing

From the series of catalog numbers printed just below the barcode on the back cover this looks to be a European pressing.

Pictures of inner on this release is wrong. It comes with a picture inner.

As usual with Music on Vinyl, pretty much flawless reissue: great dynamic range, close to surface noise, quality printing for the artwork and insert... Really great.

I have a brand new copy of this that skips on B2 and B4. Frustrating beyond measure.

Try playing the record with a needle that is best used with at least 2.5g tracking force. You will not have skips, but pops. After 2-3 playtroughs, those pops will be gone.I had a scracth on A1 that caused pops trough the song, but my Denon DL-103 sort it all out after 2 playtroughs.Clean sound and zero surface noise.

My copy was pretty damned good and clean. It sounds good!

Gorgeous reissue. Gold, or dare I say yellow, pressing. Contrasts nicely against the black opaque sleeve. Inner sleeve with expanded artwork reproduced. Sounds deep, bassy and loud. Recommended.

Yellow i say.

well, i am not sure if it is just me or happened to other people. i have got this 2014 music on vinyl edition LP.when i got the copy, palyer skipepd 2 tiems on B 2. and noticed slight scratch on vinyl. sicne i bought it as brand new, sent it back to seller and got replacement. skipped again, on same song, and also noticed slight scratch around same area as i have noticed on first copy. never had such situation before, and i wonder what really caused the scratch. (maybe problem on Mold they used??)

Had similar problem - scratch on begging of side two. Got replacement, now is perfectly fine. Great reissue.

Looks like a new repress just came out on this label: http://www.discogs.com/label/80003-Drastic-Plastic-Records

No, a lot of collectors will tell you the same story as me. Not sure what you are talking about.

Unfortunately, vinyl reissues are always a bit of a crap shoot -- often times they can turn out poorly pressed. I will say I'm surprised here as MOV is one of the best repressers out there. I'm guessing you were an unlucky exception to the norm.

At Least we can do research on releases now with the internet, back in the 60/70s I had to pray I was getting a non-defective copy and trust me vinyl came with just as many issues as today.

Thank you for posting on the quality of the pressing. I have been burned soooo many times by crappy vinyl re-releases.

I don't have that problem...

Good to know, thanks again for the info.

Adding one mroe Info to cover. after I have returned the copy (MOV) to amazon, i ended up buying used Lp of this Album on E bay. I think UK press of the album. Coomparing the cover of Original Uk pressing and MOV version, MOV version cover got thicker(solider) paper for cover. for that reason, i would say MOV version cover is better.

Possibly it was a bad batch. Hopefully it will be fixed by the time I purchase my copy. Glad to hear the cover art is great quality. Thanx

i did not notice any problem on cover aer quality, like if it was the original release. slight scratch which has caused skip on side B 2 ( track: so what).by the way, i have purchased the copy of this Lp from amazon, and Amazon took return first copy i sent them back and sent me replacement,and i sent 2nd copy back to them for same reason, and they gave me a refund.

That"s odd, usually MOV release great vinyls but sometimes things happen, I'm worried about purchasing a copy now. And BTW how is the album art quality? Is it nice and clear or does it Look Like a poorly upscaled scan of the original cover art?

Where they should have stopped. It was the pinnacle of the band and the obvious stir of what the band would deteriorate into. But the fact that the industrial style was at the highest point didn't mar this disc too much. Not quite metal and not quite industrial which was what was alluded to on "Land of Rape and Honey" The rest of the catalogue in my opinion could never replicate the power and fury of this album. Chris Connelly vocalizes on several tracks and this was the super tour that no industrial group could ever re-create. Ogre and many others were on board that year and Chicago was never ever the same again. See --- Revco and Pigface (Industrial supergroups a la Ministry).

Psalm 69 is not bad, but The Mind was the last record with the intense Wax Trax on-a-budget sonic edge which made Ministry special. Psalm 69 was definitely more funded/produced & major-labelish in comparison. Unfortunately, Ministry never rediscovered that edge after having willfully chosen to dilute it.

@futuristlimited"Where they should have stopped" ? your bonkers lol"Psalm 69" (the next album) should not have been made then ?ooook then if you say so
