Notes

Limited to 5,000 copies.

Unlike the original 2007 issue, this edition is packaged in a single glossy outer sleeve with a reproduction of the sticker that sealed the first pressing printed directly onto the cover. The orange and yellow inner sleeves with lyrics are very similar to the originals.

As this is pressed from the 2008 DMM masters, tracks A1 and B2 appear in their single edits, not the original album versions from the 2007 vinyl and CD issues.

Includes a download card that allows you to download the 11-track edition of the album, which includes the bonus track "I See Who You Are (Mark Bell Mix)".

Xlisiahal

the sound quality on this is pretty flawless. the sticker is offcenter on the red record though, mostly on side b. doesn't affect anything though

TheFresh

The sound quality of this 45rpm release is pretty good, but my copy did have some surface noise in several obvious places. However, why is "Earth Intruders" edited down? They removed the intro slushing noise in the beginning and the foghorns at the end. It can't be because of running time because there are only two songs on side A! And yeah, it's just noise, but it's still part of the album.

Grosho

Anyone got a defective copy? As in the hole wasn't punched right in the center, so the record got stuck while spinning. My red LP is like this and I can't get it to play. Frustrating.

Yozshujinn

Yep, mine originally jammed on my player - only the red record; the green record plays fine. I ended up taking a scalpel and sandpaper to it.The grooves themselves are fine and don't sway the needle, it seems like they just didn't shave around the record evenly.Once I shaved off the extra edge it plays fine.

Risky Strong Dromedary

Totally having the same problem. The hole doesn't line up with my spindle either. Have you contacted the label?

ALAN

Well I for one appreciate her ability to push herself. It doesn't always have to work, when experimenting that's part of the result sometimes. There's next time to try and get it right if wanted. With that said this is a really good album. The influence of 1970's as in the minimalist track "Pneumonia" and the Malian grooves in "Hope" are 2 quick standouts. And that's my take as I'm actually listening to the album (Side D) as I type my opinion. I suspect I will like the album even more after a couple of more listens because the tracks vary in sound and style. But that's Bjork for you or at least for me it is..

Gogal

This sounds way better than all of the other represses but it spins very oddly I don't think the hole is like directly in the middle because it looks like it could slip off at any minute but jamz super glad I got this

White gold

I ended up taking a scalpel and sandpaper to it.The grooves themselves are fine and don't sway the needle, it seems.like they just didn't shave around the record evenly.Once I shaved off the extra edge it plays fine.

Perius

I love this one!almost didnt buy it since its not my favorite bjork album but felt i needed to fill the hole in my bjork collection since i own all her other albums on vinyl&im very happy i did. This release sounds GREAT no strange surface noise and the vinyl is beautiful! I also love the order of the tracks(ending with my juvenile). I do wish other photos from this album were included inside&thicker sleeve&inner sleeve but im overall pleased!

Mightdragon

Mine sounds great - was the original release (not the DMM) 33rpm? I ask because Vulnicura is getting colour release and I PRAY it also is DMM 45rpm ... !!

SiIеnt

VERY highly doubtful vulnicura will be dmm 45RPM98% sure they will use the same plates as the original.

Dusho

Record 1 (red) is very noisy with lots of pops and the label is clean without any information. Record 2 (green) is ok.

Framokay

It's a pleasant surprise that this coloured vinyl edition cleans up a couple of things that bothered me about Volta back in '07. Firstly, the original packaging - while impressive - was somewhat impractical, with five stacking LP covers inside a box that opened out in four directions, not to mention the fact the main feature of the artwork was a massive sticker that had to be removed or destroyed to get to the records. This edition is a lot tidier, with a modest printed sleeve that holds the records a lot more conveniently.Secondly, three of the songs have been edited down to their single mixes, as on the 2008 DMM vinyl from whose masters this is pressed. Chiefly, Wanderlust and Earth Intruders have lost the atonal brass interlude that separates them, while Innocence no longer segues into five seconds of I See Who You Are before fading out, but ends tidily in its own right as side B finishes.One gripe is that the artwork is now completely missing the 'fire' photos of Bjork that adorned the backs of the original LP covers, even though there would have been ample space for at least one - but the other bits of housekeeping make me want to listen to this a lot more than I ever did before.

Debeme

hiii guy excuse me but i can't exactly understand .i wonder which is more worth buying

Mr.Bean

The sound quality is outstanding. As it's pressed from the DMM masters, it's far superior to the original 2007 pressing, and runs at 45rpm to boot. For me it's the best format of this album, high quality sound and a beautiful package.

Frei

What about the sound quality? And if you have also bought any of the other colour reissues, please review them, too, in their respective releases! I've heard the sound of these is not so superb :(

Steamy Ibis

so just an unnecessary release for the sake of re-issuing the vinyls on colours :(..... Thanks for your review anyway it was very helpful
