This is a great-sounding vinyl. I found it in a market in M- shape. Gave it a good clean and a spin and WOW! What a fat sound and my copy is dead flat and quiet too, The Vocals are up front and present and the music is perfect. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5!

Very good sounding record, absolute recommendation! Not expensive, worth every penny!
FunkyBeak Jan 7, 2023
Really surprised how cheap vinyl copies of this are going for compared to how much more in demand her first one is. I'd say this album is just as good as the first!
rDin Aug 1, 2021
This is an unexpectedly good sounding album for the period. Could it be AAA?
SirPeter Jan 5, 2015
"Manufactured in " it states on the sleeve. GEMA/ BIEM labels.
But is not categorised on discogs as a German pressing? Now, what is that ELO song coming to mind..?
