Notes

Japanese issue with obi & 6-page images/lyrics/liner-notes insert. Pages 3 & 4 are loose so sometimes it's referred to as having "2 inserts" (but actually all go together to form a single 6 page insert).

        Just amazing, however I must say that the SRC US Pressing I have a-ha - Hunting High And Low is surprisingly not far behind at all. Compared, this has just a bit more shimmer and on the synths and depth on the drums. The vocals on both are very good. I have a lot of US pressings with their Japanese counterparts and these two are the closest that I have in of quality and experience. Feel free to message me for any more in depth comment.

          So yeah it does sound better than the recent repress I have. Also doesn't have the issues with sibilance on the vocals which sparked my curiosity to begin with. Love this album from start to end.

            This pressing is exactly how an album should sound thirty five years plus later. Japan has such magnificent vinyl mastering. Sublime.

              Totally agree… I got this record at a antique market for less than a dollar… gave it a good clean and spun it. Wow. It sounds so good. Not a pop or crackle and beautiful sounding record in general. Plus… the music…
