The lyrics of "The Lords Prayer" quote from the prayer of the same name, and from songs including Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", Phil Medley and Bert Berns's "Twist And Shout", Dillinger's "Cocaine In My Brain", and John Kander and Fred Ebb's "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" (at their early concerts, the recording of "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" from Cabaret - Original Soundtrack Recording was played before the band appeared onstage).

The drum sound is humongous. I am not sure if there were overdubs for the drums but it sounds intentionally mixed loud - something most mixing engineers would not naturally choose to do but the artistic choice here makes this such an epic post punk record. This drum sound is absolutely missing in the digitally remastered version available on streaming.
Overall, tonally balanced and dynamic. Guitar is mixed to sit in the back but that is not a mastering choice (more of a mixing decision).

Can't compare it to an original UK but this pressing sounds very very good. So much better then the CD I've had for decades.

My copy states this variant:
Matrix / Runout (Inner ring mould): MADE IN GERMANY BY UNIVERSAL M & L C
Mould SID Code: IFPI 0142
Mines matches this release and has a hype sticker on top right of sleeve that says.... Contains Their Hit Single "PLAYGROUND TWIST".- Over the years I've only heard this on cassette and streaming. No surprise that the vinyl blows that out of the water, but holy shit, it's like hearing it for the first time all over again. If you love this album and have the means, pick yourself up a Polydor original. You won't be disappointed.
I’m very happy with my copy. It’s never been an audiophile album but it’s still a strong album. I know Side 2 is a bit of a slog if you’re not in the right mood, but Side 1 is faultless. Playground Twist is one of those bizarre singles that snuck slyly into the Brit charts, then snuck out again, but certainly left an impression. There was certainly nothing else like it.
Mother is my least favourite. One of those “Made Up In The Studio One Afternoon “ things. But there’s a lot to like about The Lords Prayer, and I get why they recorded it. After all, it was originally a legendary punk performance.
So, yeah, I like it more now than I did in 79. Worth having.
I’ve owned this from its release, I still love it, The Lords Prayer is a masterpiece

Is the pink disc shown actually genuine? The remastered discs generally only have the band name & title on them, not all the other info. So far all those listed on here have turned out to be white and I can find nobody on Banshees forums who's ever seen one.- One of the most striking post-punk albums, it is pretty extreme, the sound is rich and there are plenty of overdubs on drums, like sounds of cannons on Icon. Joy Division must have studied the production here for Closer
- I own this reissue and a US first pressing and they both sound pretty good. Each version offers its own sonic delights. The soundstage on the new version is enhanced allowing the music to open up a bit whereas my US version could sound compressed sometimes. The reissue has a larger sound, not necessarily fuller, it loses some of the original analog warmth and definition that makes the earlier versions have such a rich sound. Still I recommend either version, both sound excellent.
