Let customers speak for us
Fantastic pressing, by MOV. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the seal but the first bars of 'Jump (For My Love)' were enough to know that this is a great pressing. The moog shines like never before and the synths sound electric ⚡. Vocals are clear and center of stage.
Even in the chaotic passages the record stands tall and the separation stays in tact. I love the fact that 'I'm So Excited ' is included on this version because apart from Energy I won't need another Pointer Sisters record.
The artwork is nice and looks authentic. Not blurry at all, the same quality as an old record sleeve from the 80's which is good. Also the reproduction of the Planet labels is a nice touch.
The purple vinyl is dead silent and fits the theme of the sleeve, although I prefer black, this pressing doesn't seem to have any faults.

Fantastic pressing by MOV, amazing that they repressed this holy grail, such an amazing album.
The record sounds crisp and sometimes a bit bright even, but no problems with sibilance whatsoever. It sounds life-like and visceral in some passages. Beautiful low-end, with a warm and rolling sound, a feat which MOV has been executing perfectly on their reissues lately. The background is pitch black and gives room for the music to breath.
Also a nice bonus is the sleeve which has great detailed cover art which is not always the case with MOV and also cool they did a textured lamination.

This reissue of The Flat Earth gives the album new life. With tight and most of all deep bass, MOV gets one of the important factors of this album spot on.
The songs get a fresh sound that have details presented in a way I have not heard before. The White City is crisps and life-like which is the same for I Scare Myself. The spectacular sound on the record really makes it worth the replacement.
But not everything is all en well, if I'm being critical, the dynamics of Dissidents is not very great. The vocals of Thomas Dolby are low in volume and barely comes through and secondly, the cover of the sleeve is not very high quality. But if you are here for the music, this definitely makes up for it!
Tf one in of itself is an amazing movie that doesn't get the credit it deserves, along with an AMAZING soundtrack. If you love transformed one this lp is a must add to your collection!!
I'm thrilled with the quality, great pressing and super sound. Athough I'm missing a lot of artists (such as Public Enemy), but overall it's a good compilation.
