Holy &?@! this pressing sounds incredible! The guitars and drums are so powerful without drowning out the vocals, and my god the bass! It’s not boomy or out of control, just incredibly present and the kick drum really has that chest thump you want from a rock record. Very pleased!

This could have been a single disc release instead of a two disc, but I am not complaining. The results sound great! My copy has no noise or distortion. Quite clear, and quite dynamic. Flat pressing as well. No warping.

The label on Disc One Side One of my copy says “Side Three”, although it is in fact side one. Anyone else’s the same?

This record easily made its way into my highest quality list. It sounds incredible - guitars sound crisp and present as ever and the vocals are mixed to perfection.

I just (accidentally) bought a second copy of this, thinking it was a 2011 I was going to test drive. Anyway, one version is the variant 1 matrix listed here with “23387” the other is variant 2, the matrix variant runout without. Both have “CB” and such. I find these two LPs look and sound fairly different.
The variant 1 w/ 23387 has a lot less runout groove on side 1 (~30mm vs ~55mm on variant 2). Variant 1 also (IMHO) sonically punches the snot out of variant 2. Variant 1 has a lot more bass presence and grungy guitar goodness.
My two cents, these variants are different cuts. Not an expert on these things…Maybe there’s another listing I’m missing? Any thoughts fellow nerds?

Their best title, cover, material, recording and pressing. Yes it's a bit expensive in sharp shape, but you can't go wrong with this one.

Someone could tell me the Matrix numbers of this issue? Would help a lot!!!

The most consistent FF album by far, at least 8 out of 13 songs are absolutely killer, and the rest aren’t exactly bad. They haven’t even come close to that on their later albums.
Oh and this pressing kicks ass, sounds great.

Absolutely true! I own both Usa and this release, but this release plays far more better, much more full! I recommend it to everybody! Now saving for buying first press USA. I want the final comparison!
