Reviews

    Just listening to my original copy that I bought upon this album’s release in 1986. My copy is still in minty pristine shape inside out and after playing this on my P6 with Ania MC cartridge it’s pretty stunning how good this pressing is. Nice to hear that this fine Canadian pressing is preferred over the US edition. I always thought most Canadian pressings were high quality.

      Exquisite highs, solid bass. An exceptional clairty that will leave you in awe. Got real lucky to find this pressing.

        Way better than the original US. More natural and balanced.

            This original pressing is sooooo good. If you can find a good, clean copy, buy it instead of the re-issues. Worth it.
