    It’s a damn fine pressing but I’m not convinced it’s night and day better than the MFSL. Somewhat perhaps, it’s small margins for me overall.

    The AP is clearer but a bit down on bass cf. MFSL.

    Still fantastic value all the same - esp. if you only have some beaten up older version…

    I’d say 4 - 4.5 stars for sound quality overall.

      A beauty!
      No pop's or noise. Flat records. Nice cover, although you need some pushing to get the record in. Think it’s the best version you can get. The music floats!

        Exquisite!

        Too many more unnecessary words to fill this review. Get it, be happy, what more else to say

            All these Atlantic 75 Genesis titles have been absolutely superb. This is no exception.

              This uses different plates than the numbered version? (That is very strange)

                I got numbered pressing 1606. Like the other AP 45s from this series and others, these pressings sound deep, rich, wide, and very dynamic. Very happy to grab this edition of such a great album and piece of Genesis history

                  Awesome work, I have several editions and this one sures them all by far.

                    OMG, this is so fantastic. I have a mint OG which I honestly thought could not be bettered but the mastering on this is superbly balanced.
