    Nachdem waschen klingt die Scheibe nicht mehr so muffig. Dennoch fehlt Ihr Substanz, Bass das macht echt schwer die LP zu bewerten. Leider hab ich auch keine Vergleichsmöglichkeiten aktuell.

      Personally, not seeing all the hate for this pressing. I just got mine and it’s sounds just fine after increasing gain. To be fair, before gain, it does sound a little lacking in power but the whole “muffled” issue is not there after. To be fair, I don’t have any other pressings of this album so there is most likely something better out there

          Poor pressing. Over compressed and muffled. A little better with some treble boost but that should not be needed.

            Bought new from my local record store yesterday. This pressing is oddly enough both very quiet and very compressed, with a lot of distortion in the right channel, possibly from being pressed off-center. It has a very dull, uninteresting sound, with very audible distortion. Overall a very low quality pressing and a surprising and rare example of a completely botched pressing from Optimal Media. I have no idea how this ed quality control.

              I really wish I'd read the reviews here before buying this. Terrible, terrible pressing. Tons of surface noise. Flat flat flat. No seperation, no dynamic range. P. O. S.

                    Same as many have written: Sounds muffled and definitely not doing justice to this masterpiece.

                      Totally agree with the other comments. Definitely this reissue sounds "too compressed" and lackluster. I didn’t like it. Please, someone recommend me a good edition for no more than USD 50.00. Tks,
