    Sound quality is off the charts. Very quiet pressure too which is important due to the acoustic nature of the music. Lee Hulko does a magnificent job mastering this album.

      Lee Hulko does it again. Such a beautiful record and beautiful sounding as well!

                  There appears to be a matte grey version and a yellowish laminated versino of this sleeve. From what I can tell, the grey matte sleeve is paired with the 3U pressings and the yellow laminated sleeve is paired with 4U and 5U presses. We probably need separate listings.
