    A simply breathtaking pressing. Quiet throughout and the instrument separation is superb. The best sounding copy of this album that i've ever heard.

      Yep, this is the one. If you love this album, save your pennies and get this pressing. You won’t be sorry.

        Sounds amazing!! Really worth every $$, don't waste your time with much inferior reissue, this 1st press is the way to go!
