From what I heard, the Pure Pleasure Glass Bead Games is likely from a digital file derived from a needle drop or at best, a tape (but not necessarily the master) that's not in the best of condition. The master tape was not made available.
I do have a few PP reissues of Strata East and Tribe albums. They are ok but none are that great. Tribe records are near impossible to find while Strata East ones are getting harder and harder. I recently saw a Shamek Farrah original going for 500 euros!
Usually in these circumstances, I'd be happy to just go with a decent CD issue rather than pay extra for a compromised LP reissue.
