Yes, this is how it should be. Pressing without a single flaw and a musical presentation that draws you into it… excellent ànd excellent value!
Pauler Sep 4, 2024
Supposedly AAA. I have an original, this is the one I go to.
abelgn Jul 18, 2024
I cant believe how good it sounds, wanted the original copy but I just stumped with this re issue, so glad I got it.
john_nate Jan 4, 2024
I simply adore this record. The best-sounding one in my collection. Always such a joy to listen to.
JamsCanyon Apr 9, 2023
This definitely one of my favorite records. the sound quality is just amazing. The dynamics bring all the instruments to live. The guitar solo in “I Don’t Believe In You” hits you deep. Every time I listen to this record I hear something new.

***** perfect sounding pressing. Dead silent and lots of dynamics
DennisRavn Oct 6, 2022

agree with many of the comments from others - make no mistake, this is an audiophile quality pressing of an amazing album.
AnalogRx Jan 24, 2022
I streamed this for a couple weeks to see if I wanted to buy it on vinyl since I was not familiar with many of the songs. So now I’ve bought this on vinyl and oh my, what a world of difference in sound from digital streaming. Absolutely stunning sound quality and wouldn’t be surprised if this 2012 release hasn’t gone through any digital processes since it’s 1986 original analog release.

I can only echo what others here have said. A great album, clearly mastered with loving care and given the best possible presentation on the format.
