    my copy blows away the second UK pressing, in case anybody is wondering. Immesnse soundstage here, punchy, nice high end, rumbles when it should down below 70, so everything is well represented. My copy also plays almost as silently. Very dynamic pressing, i couldn't believe how terrible the UK pressing i got sounded, looked NM too, but like a tea cloth was thrown over the speakers. Denon DP 67L with a 103D.

      A great version right here. Remarkable holographic presentation, esp. evident on Side 2.
