    Really pleased with the sound on this pressing, there's plenty of depth and richness to the music, Cash's voice sounds so full and sonorous, the soundstage is textured and atmospheric, just sounds very, very pleasing to the ear. My copy was purchased new and plays nice and clean with no noticeable surface noise.

        Same, this records sounds incredible. Cash’s voice is made for vinyl. Printed inner sleeve is cool.
