WOW. Dynamic! Bass starts a little high, but falls in line. Awesome.

Sounds fantastic. Playing it loud, it's very dynamic, balanced and very clear. Glad to finally get this on vinyl.

Same. A bunch of channel dropouts on the last track on my copy of this '84 ATTIC pressing. Bummer.

If anyone has an extra inner sleeve that is readable and you want to sell it please let me know!

Awsome sounding sounds very "analog" perfect pressing very quiet no pops or clicks. Highly recommended.

Anyone care to comment on the sound of this reissue? Has the dropout in "Desecration Of Souls" around the 2'15 mark been cleared up on this reissue? Thanks so much in advance for your input!
