    I have tried a few Canadian copies. The common problem for this album is bright sounding vocal (and sibilance too). This one has the least of this problem, combined with good sound stage and healthy bottom end, therefore this is the winner copy for me.

      For my ears, Canadian pressing is better than English. Really good sound! My grade 10/10
