It's unbelivable how this so-called ("high-resolution mastering from the original source") release sounds worse than the original release.

Low frequencies or bass are a little louder / more pronounced, but high frequencies or treble are literally quieter by at least 2dB. Everything above 8kHz... God forbid. Without an equalizer, nothing. And these reissues cost a lot, shame.

Not to mention how many new records are warped, full of various stains and damage. World, where are you going? Where the hell are you going?

Another excellent dynamic and quiet Vinyl record, the whole series is excellent.

The sound is just terrible. The LP is for the most dedicated collectors.

All you need to know is this is the album with "Sunny" on it and can still be had for peanuts in mint condition.
I found my copy benefitted hugely from being ultrasonically cleaned - stunning sound.
