Picked this up on discogs for $2 listed as VG+. With a wet clean and a run through the ultrasonic, listening to it now, almost to the end of Side A and I am completely blown away. This thing has cleaned nicely. I have 2 other OG USA presses and the 2012 Music On Vinyl re-issue, which is very well done. This one may actually be better than my other pressings. The actual record is pretty thick for a late 70's mass produced release. Nice dark shiny vinyl with no visual or audible issues. It is crisp and dynamic, but warm with some deep darks in the fade outs.
What a phenomenal pressing...just perfect. Not a single audible click on the A side until you hit the runouts and maybe 3 or 4 small ticks between a few tracks on B side. Anyone searching for a copy of this album, this pressing is definitely the way to go. This is definitely the best used record I have purchased in a while. $1 per side! It's nice when you find the gem in the rough. -
I just picked up a used copy of this pressing for $10.00. Record sounds excellent. It cranks. Great bass. Vocals are excellent. The highs come in where you’d want them. Great record. I will say though… the silent parts are crackly. Perhaps a good deep cleaning would solve this? -
I rescued a VG+/VG copy of this at a flea market in 2022 for eight bucks. I'd never listened to the album before. Like, for real, this pressing smokes. -
Excellent pressing. Don't spend $$$ - just get yourself a NM copy of this W pressing. They did it right. -
Edited one year agoHave this and the MOFI (one step). This sounds better to my ears—less clinical and warmer (while still having a lot of detail). -
