    Yeah this is a brilliant sounding pressing of a brilliant album. As simepro said, the dynamics of this record will truly blow you away. I haven't heard a US pressing but I would honestly be shocked if there was any version of this album with better instrument separation and punch.

      Surprisingly sounds better than the US copy. It’s brighter and has better dynamics.

        Clean and clear sound, but lack of bass. Wonder US original pressing.
