Edited one year agoThis pressing is an affordable alternative. I have A-B'd this one with a 1975 US press I have and my copy is quite silent. There are more dynamics to it and I can hear more intricacies than I anticipated. One complaint I have is it's a bit more quieter than my US press. Which I kinda don't appreciate as listening to this record I want to be breaking down walls with how loud it is. Both versions still have them mixing issues prevalent in all first releases. But not as much in the Japan press. Overall very good. Snatch one if available! -
First Japanese pressing of an iconic early Queen album that many diehard Queen fans favor over A Night At The Opera. Vocals just sound fantastic on this pressing.
