heavyweight dish
This record is of a good weight and stiffness. Unfortunately, stiffness was not helpful on this occasion as it is badly dished - it is shaped like a shallow cone! Without a spindle clamp to hold the record down and flat, it would be unplayable on many turntables.
The sound like lacking depth, shallow and a bit weedy, nothing like a good record can deliver nowadays. I bought sigh no more at the same time and the sound quality was the same on that too.
The CD's delivery much better sound on this occasion.
Poor pressings.

Not 180g vinyl
This was listed as 180g vinyl and I could tell as soon as it left the sleeve that it is lighter than that. I could not see on the sleeve any indication that this was 180g heavyweight vinyl, though it was and still is listed as such. It actually weighed in at 160g.
The sound is also quite light-weight. The recording level seems quite low and there is a lack of depth to the sound. Not terrible, but I have many records which are much better sounding.
I bought Babel on vinyl at the same time and the sound quality was the same. The CD's on this occasion sound a lot better.
I think essentially these are poor pressings (Sigh No More and Babel). Babel was worse because the disc is badly dished! It is shaped like a shallow cone, so on a turntable without a central clamp for the record would be unplayable.
