One of the best sounding records in my collection. Dynamic and punchy. Sublime pressing.
CJB1972 Nov 25, 2021
Rather enjoy this pressing, very clear and crisp..something to be said for DMM mastering
Unclephil51 Apr 11, 2021
Very amazing sound, top 10 records I own I’d say. Record big on this album is crystal clear and the pressing does it. Very nice bass, really good master and I find myself always going back and cranking it up loud. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THE 2012 REMASTER. SUCKS!
