-
It sounds like a fantastic analogue pressing - lots of warmth and fullness. This was a well recorded and engineered album to begin with, and I love the sound out of this pressing! -
Edited 4 years agoGood sounding pressing. Very warm and full. I think the album in general was recorded and produced well overall, but this Canadian variation definitely impresses me (no pun intended).
