Edited 2 years agoDirect comparison with MoFi 2012 vinyl: this mastering (US Masterdisk) is fuller in the low and low-mid, and smoother in the upper-mid. Preferred.
A wonderful album in composition and performance. -
Got it in August 2020. Just listened through again, it's a great sounding album! I'm getting plenty of deep and smooth bass, with great mid and uppers nicely balanced. Sound is clear and sharp, this is a fun listen.
