            After a wer clean and a two shoots of zerostatic the vinyl sounds very well. I don't have an original to compare but I'm happy with my copy

              A few persistent crackles and issues in "Anyway" holds this pressing back from a clearcut 5/5.
              • MrWalrusGumboot's avatar
                This is one of my favourite of Paul’s albums, a great listen from beginning to end. My copy sounds spectacular, a beautiful pressing that I really can’t fault. Very happy

                  musicfan88
                  In of Pauls "newer" releases, this is probably his best. I was thoroughly surprised at how beautiful this album was upon revisiting it recently. While I did mostly enjoy "New", this may have been his last TRULY great album. Obviously this is purely opinion.

                    Great sound mostly - Side A has lots of cracks and pops, and Side B starts to falter around the end, but otherwise it's great

                      stanmore
                      Beautiful sounding vinyl but not spectacular as I hope it would (and could) be - still one of the top best McCartney album
