    Does anyone else have serious sibilance issues on “Hall of Mirrors”?

      I agree with El_Jefe, the highs are a bit like an ice pick in the ear, but not all the time on every track. This is a great sounding edition otherwise.

        If anyone is selling the jacket only, I am interested.

          Great soundstage depth and width. Nice dynamic range. Higher frequencies can get a bit harsh and bright, but that may just be my copy.

            My copy has slightly different labels, it reads "Recorded in " above "Produced by..." instead vice versa.
            Also different runout with "F2" on A (instead of "F7") and "F5" on B (instead of "F1").
