    Pretty damn solid pressing but it has a bass note(s) running between tracks. Good separation. Bass is decent but that's to be expected with an album that oozes bass. But it's nice that the more high end frequencies pop as well.

      I just purchased a previously-owned copy of this pressing that only needed some cleaning (no scuffs or scratches). After cleaning the record, I think it sounds great. I don't boost bass or treble, leaving everything flat. This record has good bass, and nice channel separation with good detail definition. I already owned the CD version of this album, but I'm leaning more towards the sound of the vinyl now that I finally have it.

        Not sure what to make of it, if anyone has insight, drop a line.
