    ERROR IN THE NOTES: This version is plated at RTI in USA, but it is pressed by OPTIMAL in . Not pressed at RTI as described in the Notes.

    If you look at the image of the back cover, you will read "MANUFACTURED IN THE EU" at the very bottom in the last line of the small print.

    By the way, the pressing is flat, centered and quiet. It sounds amazing! I heard both versions and all these pressings that used the KPG cut @ Acoustech and plated at RTI sound superb. Doesn't matter if they were pressed at Optimal or RTI.

          This is one of the best sounding reissues I’ve ever purchased.

              Impulse buy at Barnes & Noble last night. Little worried what the quality would be, since it was relatively inexpensive, but man, it sounds just beautiful. Pressing is flawless. So quiet, even between tracks.

                anybody knows how this sounds compared to the 2009 Kevin Gray pressing?
