    This German pressing is the best sounding pressing of this classic heavy rock album that I know. Actualy, I didnt know how well recorded this album is until now. The sound is fresh, airy, punchy and crispy. The balance is on the dark side of neutral, but the sound of cimbales is very open and crispy. This is really well analog recorded.

      I can't believe there isn't a single review of this pressing. I'm looking to buy one and thought I'd check here first. I'm really suprised there isn't anything. #sad
