    Outstanding pressing. Fabulous soundstage and instrument separation with this version.

      Hi, new here. I have a copy of this which I can't see listed. It's an Australian promo version on the EMI label cat - P.240014. There is no barcode, There is a 3/8" hole die cut through the outer and inner sleeve. A sticker on the front cover saying 'sample record not for sale'. Printed on the record it says - SAMPLE RECORD NOT FOR SALE For Record Review and Demonstration Purpose Only. I got it about 30 years ago via mail order in the UK.

              Are the vinyl track times correct? They're VERY different from the CD track times. Did they release different mixes/edits on vinyl? Or perhaps just label the times incorrectly?
