    I have to agree this one is plagued by substantial sibilance.

      IM Sure many will disagree with me but the best 2 covers of little wing are from the corrs unplugged album and pearl jam's live at the gorge album😎

          Absolute MASTERPEICE on all levels: Writing, arrangements, production, engineering, mixing.

          One issue? "We'll be together" does not belong on this album IMO, it breaks the mood of the album, and comes off as jarring. It would have been better as a standalone single, rather than part of the album.

            I have a UK pressing of this LP which doesn't match either version listed here.

            The matrix numbers on it are:

            Barcode: 0 82839 64021 3
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, A-side, stamped): AMA 6402 A / 5 ▼ 420 T
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, A-side, hand etched): DB TAPE one
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, B-side, stamped): AMA 6402 B / 5 ▼ 420 T
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, B-side, hand etched): DB TAPE one
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, C-side, stamped): AMA 6402 C / 4 ▼ 420 T
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, C-side, hand etched): DB TAPE one
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, D-side, stamped): AMA 6402 D / 5 ▼ 420 T
            Matrix / Runout (Runout, D-side, hand etched): DB TAPE one

            Also, the vinyl is different from the versions shown on here - it doesn't have the recess at the edge of the
            labels. Instead, it's the nastier flat kind with the sharp outer edges. I had a copy of Zenyatta Mondatta that
            was like that before I replaced it with one with the label recess and thicker edges.

            Any ideas??
