    Sounds unreal. I had a reissue before this which I always thought sounded good but this is another level. Top 5 album ever made, and the original pressings do it justice. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.

      Utterly beautiful sounding pressing. An original pressing is truly the way to go if you can find it.
