I don’t have any other pressings to compare this to, but holy moly does this one sound larger-than-life. A couple snap-crackle-pops at the very beginning upon first play, but after that, what an experience! Got this baby for $25 at Jerry’s Records in Pittsburgh, PA. Unbeatable! -
Ajaton klassikko ja surrealistinen kuuntelukokemus. Kandee soittaa nopee että saa mahdollisesti auki kolmannen silmän. -
On my copy there are several misspellings and a wrong line. Like on Breathe it has the lyrics “ Don’t sit down it’s time to start another one” instead of “ don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one” and in the song money it’s spells Your Instead of You’re in the second line and it also spells,of instead off in the lyric “ I’m alright jack keep your hands off my stack” idk I just thought it was interesting. Is this on all of the Winchester pressings? -

A must-have for ANY record collection. An absolute classic album. Sounds great because it IS great!
-
This album is a masterpiece, one and only. I have been listened for so many years and I still doing it.
-
I have every notable pressing of this release and I would have to rate this pressing as my number one personal favorite. The MOFI pressing is a little softer and more subtle while this pressing is louder and more dramatic, it turns things up in just the right spots. Just my opinion. If you’re looking for the right copy of this LP maybe give this one a try. -
I thank this album to introduce me into Pink Floyd, Progressive and Psychedelic Rock, as a hole. Happy 49th birthday dark side. Also, this pressing sound very clean and dynamic. -
Having the Uk's A2/B2 - A3/B3, The MFSL 1-017, EU 30th Anniversary edition + 2016 PFRLP8 EU to compare with i must say this one is a keeper. Warm and as said below crystal clear. Love it!

Very clear and all around great sounding press. An iconic album for good reason, very well composed, mixed, and produced. What really drives it home for me are the drums. This is a prime example of an album that just sounds leagues better on vinyl than it does anywhere else.
