    Great sound, great for late night listening. I like the slightly more sophisticated and reworked versions on here. Really great vibe—not to mention the iconic cover.

      Why in these times of special reissues and complete live shows hasn't this, with 'Live" been rereleased as the complete show. Could make a nice (historical) package.

        This sounds much better than the remaster. The guitars just rock more in this mix. I've owned both and kept the original.

          This is the first day logging on discogs Second record i'm listing. I practiced with a Bread album first. I am having trouble with which pressing i have on some albums. Other than that I think i will like it here.

            Mine is in a gatefold cover with AFL1-0472 in black tape around the spine top left and no Best Buy Series logo but the vinyl inside is this version. Even though it's a reissue there's not a damn thing I can find wrong with it. Great black lable Dynaflex RCA disc, and great music.

              I just walked into a small record store in Nashville…
              I saw this sweet bastard sitting by it self behind a stack of country vinyl.
              Went up to the clerk and said, “You’re telling me you’re selling this for only $3.99, and I get 73’ Lou Reed high off his ass on stage?” “Just take my whole wallet sir.”

                It sounds really nice! I have this one and a new pressing but this one sounds much better.

                  Hot hot hot mix. Great pressing. Live albums seldom sound this excellent. Honestly all RCA Dynaflex records around this time sound absolutely phenomenal -- see original Bowie pressings as well

                    Hmmm, I believe I have this pressing but the labels are not orange. More of a greenish yellow.
