Yup, great record!!!
Was this pressed on transluscent vinyl too?
I got it , but the MFSL one (which, in their usual way , does not come with the LYRICS SHEET!).

not sure about a translucent vinyl version, no lyric sheet but is a gate fold cover with lyrics printed on the inner sides, and special dust free sleeve for the record.

Hmmm - never heard of that label. So - where can you typically find those at?

Now, when was this made?
Sorry for playing the role of Uncle Grumpy here- I never found an early "Digital Master" that sounded better than the analog one.
Never could understand the whole philosophy of taking a lovely analog master and truncating it at 20K and THEN put it back again to analog...(which is what they did with the "CBS MASTERSOUND HALF- SPEED MASTERED" LPs ...and screwed it up big time)

Especially this masterpiece!!!

This one was made in 1982 and yes the USA CBS series were no good, that was because they just took the original master and slowed it down but did not adjust the eq. That is not the case for the Japanese ones which were an entirely different project by competent engineers. I think there are pros and cons to this digital mastering but I can tell you it really does sound very very nice. Also the quality of the pressing and is super thick and is second to none.
Unlike the CBS USA morons the Japanese do know there stuff. As for finding them real hard now days maybe try collector stores?

here is the companion which again has the same great sound.

Yeah, the Japanese know their shit!
That looks GREAT...I LOOOVE"Turn Back" (I hope it came with the poster, but then, this is Japan , we're talking about EVERYTHING and the kitchen sink!!!)
"Hydra" would be great too!!

Yeah, I can't say I have a "mediocre" or "bad" Japanese pressing!!!
(DDuran's "Rio", ELP "BSS", Santana "III" in SQ, Genesis' ATTW3 and "The Story of Genesis", Yes' GFTO, etc.)

Well, I picked up the new release 2 LP 180 gram version of Disintigration by The Cure.

Always one of my favorites, it will sound fresh as it spins at 33 1/3 !
