    This is the first pressing on vinyl, correct? I assume that it’s listed as “reissue” because the first pressing was made in 2002 and the record was released initially on CD in 1999.

        I spent a lot of time with this CD when it was released. It’s been a while since I listened to it. What a delight it is to bump into the old friend that I left in the hallway.

        Putting on this LP tonight after so many years departed, I have returned to those days. I am in awe of just how magical she is. The overall soundstage is a cinematic presence. A journey that is worthy of the ticket price for fans of the album. Sit yourself all comfortable and enjoy the moment, this movement.

        This is the only version of the album I have heard on vinyl. As an avid lover of the medium, I am confident in highly recommending this one. An aural beauty that stands tall. The full spectrum of sound shines through. When the bass notes kick in on “A Spoonful Weighs a Ton”, you get both quality and quantity. Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) on this vinyl.
