The half-speed version is the greatest version of this, approaching something like Folke Rabe's "Was??" crossed with whalesong.

Full of static initially. Gave it a wet clean and it plays fine with a few pops here and there. Probably still some static. There is some discoloration or residue on the surface that cleaning would not remove. The edges of my copy are very sharp, as though the excess cutter on the press was misaligned. I almost dropped the record I was alarmed at how sharp the edge is. The sound is pretty good, though. Not a bad copy if you can get one at a reasonable price.

Super nice. A few clicks here and there. Each time I clean it shows improvement. Nice deep sound.

Hello there im searching one copy on cd ! if anyone want to sell it feel free to send me a message :)

My copy sounds fine so far, other than a couple of clicks. It's had a wet clean so that may have helped, though the record doesn't look any cleaner visually than it did beforehand.

Yes, mine too. A really bad pressing, i guess...This album deserves MORE CARE!

Does anyone else think this pressing has quite a lot of surface noise?

Yes! Snap, crackle, pop-- right out of the shrink wrap. Disappointing.

why must good music being reversed.... slow down......played faster,is this the new thing after sampling and reworking bits from a track !

As self-evident as it may sound: listen to the original versions, those at normal speed and unreversed, first! This way you'll enjoy both versions at best.

They released the reversed and slowed down versions as this is how they were played on the John Peel show when he received the tapes in the 70's. The story I've heard is that he received a reel to reel tape of the music and it was stored "tails out". When he played the song it therefore played backwards. I love these altered versions of the songs and was very excited when they were released.

great music from a 2 world-masters in the older days !

I would add to your spot-on comment : "packed with loads of drugs and let loose into sheer impovisation ..." !!!!!!!!!!
