Does anyone know if the pressing sounds good or bad?

Sounds great! I don't have any other vinyl pressings to compare with but compared to the cd version I grew up with this sounds a lot better.

My copy is extremely warped but i can't say it sounds bad for as badly warped as it is. There is no surface noise or anything like that. I think the vocal clarity is a bit better on this one than https://www.discogs.com/Velvet-Underground-White-LightWhite-Heat/release/2439454 There feels to be more separation between vocals and the other instruments. Given the choice between the two i would certainly pick this release over the link i gave.
