    This album has always had a good sound, but this version is nice to listen to simply because, in my opinion, you finally have a version that isn't played out, that doesn't crackle, or have any flea market issues. Now you can finally listen to it in peace and bop along.

      This press is amazing!... Comparing somé songs in with original pressing (Les Grands Suces) I feel this one fill the hall better. No loops or scratches

        There is a pressing issue with this particular version.

        I’ve bought 2 copies and it goes on a continuous loop on the song ‘Le Freak’ on the first side around the 30 second mark (“I’m sure you’ll be amazed” part)

        Otherwise the mastering is great. But I’ll be sourcing a different version so I can enjoy ‘Le Freak’ properly

          Last track ((Funny) Bone) has a pressing issue. Looping due to a scratch problem. I changed my copy with another, same thing. Still a looping... Watch out.
