I picked this up recently, all I can say is wow. I’ve never heard this album sound so good. Side a is absolutely spectacular.
I put this up on the marketplace but not sure I can part with it now. Realistically, can the original US pressing sound better? Not sure how. -
Edited one year agoGreat mastering and pressing…full, detailed, airy and rich sound…this is the pressing to go if you don’t want to pay so much money for the US OG….buy it before the prices increase! I own two copies - same matrix, but one with a matte, the other with a glossy cover ( not listed here on discogs) -
This is right up there with the best sounding records in my collection (1500), obviously it’s beautifully and carefully recorded - I think this particular pressing really shows that off well. 10/10 A true stunner.

This is a fantastic sounding pressing. If anything could improve upon this, would be to spread the music over 2 Records.
