    Such an awesome pressing! The vinyl is dead silent, flat, and clean. The dynamics on this release are insanely good, which is to be expected from a Bob Ludwig mastering. The packaging is also great with printed inners, side D etching, and beautiful gatefold with attached booklet. Rufus is clearly back to form here and if you're a fan, you should give this album a listen—especially on vinyl. Highly recommended!

      Sounds good but I should have waited because I eventually saw this as low as $15 in USA and I paid $40 upon release. I really disliked the album at first also but it finally grew on me.

        Great album, well mastered by Bob Ludwig. Absolutely dead quiet and flat (well, as flat as a record can ever realistically be) pressing from GZ.

          Stunning album and great pressing! No noise or hisses, all pieces intact (inner sleeve included). There was some debris on the record when I received it, but it could be brushed off. Only complaint is that the volume is not great - it feels very quiet on the slow songs.

            Mine sounds sensational, No noise, No pops or cracks. Very happy. Rufus has done it again! Great Album

              An absolutely AWFUL pressing based on 3 copies I have heard. I have come to the conclusion that buying GZ records is like taking £30 out of your wallet, setting fire to it and then punching yourself in the face. All 3 copies had dreadful surface noise on side 1, a repetitive hissing noise not unlike GZ's shocker of a pressing for Elton John's "Diamonds" LP which should be avoided at all costs. I really don't know what it is about this plant; their lack of QC, their inattention at test press stage, the way they just let stamper deformities , the way they crease the inner sleeves as they shove the records in, the fingerprints, the careless, obvious flaws in the discs which they just blithely on to the consumer. I hate their records and this is just another one for the scrapheap. Don't waste your money.
