The first english pressings are supposed to be the best, but japanese vinyls are always very,very good.

I have the first uk pressing of pornography and it sounds great but the records kind of flimsy. It would probably sound even better if it was 180 gram

180g doesn't mean anything.
Listen to the original pressing of PIL's Metal box: the records are very light, almost flexible and this is one of the best sounding records ever….

For me, the best pressings are the Japanese vinyls and 1st uk vinyls, matrix A1/B1.

But you can have the best pressing in the world, if you play it on a equipment that is worthless, then listen to the songs on youtube...

Same here, but there's as much chance of that as seeing Orange on DVD!
