    A little quiet at the start, but beats my UK 4E/3E (on Side 1 easily), bass is really good, as is definition, perhaps could do with a little more top end sparkle (my copy is NM) I'm using a RigB!ed AT-VM540ML on an SME 3009 mounted on a Garrard 401 for reference. Not sure if this was mastered from a generation down or not, but whoever cut it did a good job and being the first run from 71 in a small country means little stamper wear, exciting and detailed is how I'd describe it, love to compare it to other "holy grail" pressings. (I now realise this is sourced from the Indianapolis US pressing stamper)

      Yes typical of how Nz pressings were short changed during this 70s period
