You probably won't find this topping anyone's list of best Piper pressings. Sonically, it trails the Scranton Tower version in dynamics and separation. For Floyd collectors, it's often a more difficult find, which ups the asking price - just don't expect to be wowed after the needle drops. It's something to play and put away.
