    Got this record for a decent price. Overall pleasant pressing, you feel that the production was not intended to be over the top. Enjoyable. This first French pressing suffer a bit of low voice level, specially at the end of side A.

      I am asking for help because the text is not clear. If the RL engraving is found on the running matrix, is it a promotional copy? From one of the first 500 copies? It's very suspicious because I have one and it sounds fantastic. Better than my Japanese copy.

        Awesome pressing, beats 2K14-24 releases.
        More punch, no muddy sound.
        2K24 press is descent for the price tho.

          Hot-cut +7dB, which sounds lush and detailed. Lots of dynamics. Fantastic sounding pressing.
          I've owned my version since 1982 - so 40 years and still going! Sounds even better these days after upgrading to a MC stylus.

            has someone noticed a louder sound on the beginning of the disc on each side, or is it my cell that is not well tuned ?
