I'm frequently impressed at just how good 80s vinyl is, and this is no exception. It is absolutely dead silent vinyl and the mastering is fantastic on this. Huge soundstage and sounds so good. Helps that the music itself is top notch as well
-
Spacious and impactful soundstage. Breath of fresh air, both in the music and the pressing.
