    Solid remaster, though as others have mentioned, the pressing has a lot of surface noise - a common complaint with Pallas pressings. Artwork is heavily pixelated, though I can’t recall if that was an issue as well with the original.

        Great sound quality, but somewhat mediocre pressing. Hairlines, light ticks, crackle,... (after cleaning). First copy had a nasty scratch, this second copy will be fine for now. Music and mastering is still gorgeous!

          Hard to fault this one. It sounds a little different from my original cd but both are excellent. This is a good way to get a totally clean, high quality all analog version with beautiful looking artwork as well. This release deserves 5 stars

            My copy sounds great but there is a lot of crackle on it. It's not scratched. The crackle didn't really gone after washing it.

              Wonderful album... and tremendous audio quality here. No need to keep looking for another version. A great surprise. I recommend this pressing without a doubt.

                Totally agree with previous reviews. Excellent pressing and sound quality.

                  I have this version and the Classic Records version and have to it that the sound difference is not that much. This is their best album (according to me) and this specific pressing is bang for buck so buy before it extincts :)
