Sounds way better than a later edition which I reviewed earlier here: Tina Turner - Private Dancer

This one is warm, clear and frankly perfect to my ears as far as CD copies go.

Number of files: 10
Official DR value: DR13

Note that the two tracks which go 'over' here.. guess that means they clip a bit, are the same two tracks which have compression/limiting applied on that later version. Overall DR average isn't much different, but Steel Claw sure is.. from 12 here down to 9 on that inferior version. And the title track, while being 'over' has a DR of 14! It sure sounds pretty here too.
