    Just got this and I agree with everyone else. This pressing is Amazing!!! Huge improvement over my US first.

      Echoing what everyone else has said: this is the pressing to get. I have three different pressings of this album, and this outdoes all of them.

        Just scooped this version up at a thrift store. So glad I did because it’s a perfect pressing. The analog sounds really thump and shine and having the longer version of Leave In Silence is worth it alone (starts with an extended synth arpeggio not in the shorter version). Plus the faster, instrumental version of My Secret Garden is a welcome treat. This album never sounded so good!

          Excellent pressing. Very dynamic, not as flat as Japanese variants use to be. This is a bassy album but this press is perfectly balanced, bass-wise. Can't compare it with other vinyl pressings but this makes a nice collectible (if you manage to get the complete version with OBI and lyrics sheet). Also features a different version of Leave In Silence (Longer) and includes "Further Excerpts From: My Secret Garden", this makes this version unique.
