Total Classic. I'm surprised this album and many other titles from their early years don't have a proper remaster and reissues on audiophile 180gr. vinyls.
From 1981 early tracks to 1987's Terra Firma ( the title track sucks big time but the rest is damn good) they were among the big names of one of the best genres of the 80s.
