NOTE: the runouts on these are unique to this unissued release. they must have been produced in preparation for the recent remaster/reissue but changed at some point. not sure if these were ever artist/label approved. acquired from a Memphis estate.

I do not have an original 2000 pressing to test against but I was able to compare this master/cut to the recent 2025 black reissue. To my ears it's an almost identical cut, maybe a tiny bit quieter, but "Blue Skies Bring Tears" is fully intact on this test instead of chopped abruptly at the end like on the 2025 cut. possibly other small differences but I just spot checked it.
Discs - all 4 sides spotless, played through once apiece and spot checked later to compare to the reissue
Jackets - standard MRP test pressing jackets with information stickers, both in great shape
