    Bought this pressing recently. For the most part sounds great. However, the highs are quite harsh to the point of breaking up in a few places ( Particularly the bits with overdriven multitrack vocals )

      I only have a 2014 SACD master to compare and some UK and US vinyl and SACD masters of Katy and Royal Scam but this one sounds VERY fine (Linn lp12 Akkurate with 300B SET amplifier and Klipsch LaScala) ... so any one looking for a good pressing Pretzel this just seems Logic to go for: Highly Recommended.

        I Just scored one of these from the original purchaser played once to cassette then stored. I'm lead to believe that they made another studio master copy for the UK versions. If that is true I can believe it. Having first cleaned it in my Audio Desk System. The recording is superior to my remastered CD version. It's very quiet between tracks with superb dynamics. Well chuffed
