I don’t know what systems others have, but everything sounds great on my Audio-Technica turntable and 5.1 speakers. Deep Purple is not for audiophiles - it's hard rock. It's nice that all the bonuses are present.

Sounds flat and dull. I doubt that it was remastered for vinyl. The record itself has mild surface noise. So this one is for collectors only, who want to have this album on vinyl without paying silly money for original

This record is no sonic wonder but it is miles better than the original US pressing. Listenable at least.

how to say, already the album at the base does not sound great but the vinyl is even worse, saturation everywhere, it is not normal to come out of shit like that

FYI: Copy protection only works on Windows PCs. These discs can be ripped on a Mac without issues.

For an unoffical China knock-off this is a real nice release!! Great sound and professional packaging.

Incredibly loud mastering. Though the CD master doesn't have a lot of dynamic range, the tracks on vinyl sound extremely muffled like they're playing out of a blown speaker. Maybe it's just the poor mixing, but Ian Gillan's voice sounds like he's mouthing into the microphone.

My copy also has some surface noise on side one even after cleaning it; it's very prominent during the beginning of Money Talks. I'd advise against purchasing this record unless you're a serious collector.

Although I don't like that Money Talks seems to not have any melody at all to my ears (I can't really anything about the song other than the almost-spoken asides), and Girls Like That has an untraditional structure (were they experimenting on these two songs?), the rest of the album is pure Steve Morse-era Deep Purple. Although Don Airey doesn't add a whole lot to the procedings, Jon Lord wasn't a huge presence on any of the albums without Ritchie Blackmore, so I can cut Airey some slack. Steve Morse fills the album with his guitar. And Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye proves that Ian Paice is a very underrated drummer who should be on everyone's "Best Drummer" list.
