Nice pressing. Sounds is full and plenty of bottom end. Some shrill, harsh highs, but nothing to get worked up about. Essential for U2 fans. The start of an incredible run of records. -
Fantastic album from U2 at the beginning of the New Wave era of music...although I would not have called them that in 1980 because they were too political. That being said this album is way beyond what you would expect from a first release. Highlights: I will follow/The Electric Co/Shadows and Tall trees...etc etc ....if you dont have this in your collection and you are into this post punk mod music...it is a must ..IMO.
