I am pretty sure this is United Record Pressing's usual hack job. The download code is redeemable at 'urpressing.com' and the vinyl is very much as awful as anything they do: off-center and dimpled. There is no way they should be entrusted with any release, much less one associated with the venerable Impulse! imprint.

2018 ... major labels still producing the most boring possible CD editions: plain jewel case and mini inlay ... the only reason I know this: the vinyl edition is even shittier, so I don't want to own it.

I was about to buy this off Amazon but after reading all of the comments I think I'll give it a miss.

What where they daying @Torontoonian? A summary would help us all. Thanks.
porosh
And i forgot to mention:sound quality is like a bootlegged And the sound quality is as thin as coming from a bootlegged cd.A
Humin
Both lp's have pressing defects, gf is dented inside. Another example of lacking quality controls these days. A shame.
Uscavel
My pressing does not have any manufacturing defects, but after reading some reviews of this pressing I decided to do a listening test. I listened to the record and then the same track on Spotify and unfortunately it was immediately evident that you're better off just streaming this record. It's crazy how much better of an album this is than the vinyl would allow you to experience. What a shame.

As soon as I saw the words "Universal Music Distribution" and the FBI warning on the back I knew what this would be like but being a glass half full kind of person and against my better judgement I bought this. Universal In the United States should be ashamed at the poor pressing standards at their pressing plant (I can't imagine there is more than one). Every single person associated with the manufacture of these records should be embarassed at what they churn out. My copy had every single manufacturing flaw you can inflict on a record. Both LPs were warped, scratched, dirty and pock marked like the surface of an asteroid. The labels were torn and off center and the records appeared to have some sort of sandblasted, dull sheen to them. Universal in the US do not know how to manufacture records. Not one LP I have ever bought and manufactured by them has had even a modicum of quality control associated with it. Don't waste your money on this turd of a pressing; it is awful.

Thanks for this clarification. I will never buy another record with UMC on the back of it, same with anything made by United or GZ. I have wasted so much money this year on defective vinyl. But not anymore.

Universal doesn't have a plant. They have their vinyl pressed at either Rainbo or United, I think, although for some reason the telltate 'U' is not in the deadwax on United pressings. I think this is a U pressing. It has all the hallmarks of their work, from dimples to being off-center. Virtually everything Rainbo and United press is off-center or otherwise defective junk.
nailer
Major labels have never sent TPs to artists for approval. For Universal this is purely about making money, artists just get in the way of that.
Mr.jeka
are the artists not involved in the QC at all? Don't they send test pressings for their approval anymore, or maybe they didn't even ask?
Global Progression
Typical pressing quality for a major conglomerate i.e. fucking shoddy. Creed Taylor would be ashamed, not that Universal Music Group would give a shit about that.Excellent music, abysmally presented. Bit of a shame Sons Of Kemet couldn't have signed this to a less prestigious but more capable, real label.
X-MEN
The worst pressing I baught in many years (July 2018). It is about as flat as the Rocky Mountains. My player is not able to play it. Labels are 1cm off center, scrapping the needle and the sound is rather mediocre. This is by far the most awful ‚quality‘ record I ever owned.Fun note aside: seller offered a partial refund for this defect product. What a scam, impulse. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Brightcaster
quality of record is… there is no quality. Music on its own is great. Lovet it from first drop of jamaican vibe.
Eseve
Listened to the free download Wav first and then played the Wax through the same system - really disappointed with the pressing quality, so much is lost! Drums have nowhere near the same impact on the Wax - Doreen Lawrence almost sounds like a different track!
Moronydit
Just got my copy. Budget quality for a premium price. It plays OK but nothing spectacular. I expected a way better sound and overall quality than this. Pity, as this really great music deserves better treatment. Shame on, Universal Music Group!
Kagda
What an album. But a lot of tiny clicks and crackling on my new copy. And yeah the runout sounds awful!
Cogelv
Possibly figured out why I didn't hear the issues others were having on side C; I have no side C. My copy come with a double sided D.
Flower
My pressing of the album sounds really good and is quite flat. Though it's true about the runout noise.
Efmprof
Not too happy with the pressing either. Yeah, there are worse ones out there, but for a premium price I expect an immaculate pressing. The overall noise floor is pretty high, which is especially noticable and annoying on the quieter tracks on the C-side. Plus, the bandwidth comes accross abit crammed at times, not as "wide" as digital version. Will return my copy.A pity, because the music is pure gold and deserves a fine pressing.
Rexfire
100% right. Just received my copy and I am slightly disappointed with the budget quality for a premium price...
Uste
A decent, if unspectacular, pressing. Watch out for the ripping/sandpaper noise in each of the locked runout grooves!
Mautaxe
You know, I just got finished listening to side D not half an hour ago, and the very same scratching sound at the run-out startled the Hell out of me. I thought there was a scratch.
