    This is actually one of the best vinyl listening experiences I had. You can hear the hissing of the old tape start of the record.

    The music is so alive! It destroys the 2019 reissues. The 2019 reissue sounds like it’s capturing 70% of all the recorded sound and dynamics are squashed.

    100/100!

      I’ve listened to this album on the 2012 Soundtrack CD release and the remastered digipak CD and this LP sounds even better. All the instruments sound natural with amazing sound-staging. Rodriguez voice jumps all over you. 100% perfect press. Love it!

        Misprint on labels, identifies writing credits as "SIXTH" instead of "SIXTO".
