    I wish there was pressing information in the runouts. Does anyone know where these were pressed? I love the whole 'Bootleg' thing, but the runouts on these actually look like Bootlegs..lol.. No pressing information, No Lacquer cutting credits... Nothing except a generic number stamp

    In true bootleg form maybe?
    I guess..lol

    All three have visible scratches on the first side. So far it doesn't affect the play, but still disappointing.

    Just cracked the box open. VERY impressed by how this was packaged/shipped. Haven't had a chance to listen yet but externally speaking things seem to be in perfect condition.

    Mine were all scuffed pretty bad in spots, I attribute that to the hard sleeves. I had maybe 2 audible pops, but again this isn't Classical music so I may have missed a few due the loudness of the music. Overall, very happy.

    Anyone have any knowledge of where these were pressed? I thought I heard somewhere in Europe.

    Yeah, in Eastern Europe I think... where was it? Czech Republic? Ukraine? :|

    They might want to consider a press with a great reputation instead of seeking out a bargain and getting bad quality pressings. Just a thought. It seems obvious, but.... guess not.
    If they finally do choose a good pressing plant, fans will need to be patient. There are long waiting lists for them, at a time when there are not enough presses to keep up with demand. Maybe they resorted to the Czech Republic because they thought the fan club members would start freaking out if it took any longer than it already has, lol.

    I read somewhere recently that due to the rise in vinyl demand, the a lot of the few good pressing plants are running out of capacity and have very long waiting times, there is a very famous one in Germany that has a production pipeline of one year in advance. Maybe that is a reason why they chose the Czech Republic?
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Your probably thinking of Optimal Media GmbH in Germany. They are known for nice pressings. I think one of the best in the U.S. is Quality Record Pressings, but they are known more for their audiophile quality pressings.

    Here's an idea 10Club, how about you don't hire pressing companies called Jizzy Media??

    The name alone should have been a red flag...
