    Something fishy about this one. 6,800 people have it and there are 74 copies for sale. Is this getting heavily counterfeited?

      I have to agree with others below, this is an outstanding pressing, I prefer it over UK and US 1st press, sound is so clear and if you have a NM copy vinyl plays with no surface noise, a wonderful listening experience!

        Outstanding pressing, so much details and superb mastering... don't even bother to compare it with any CD edition.

          As others have said - this is an excellent pressing with superb mastering. I’d say it’s very sharp and clean, but it also has a bit of the mid warmth that prevents it from being too clinical. I will say that mix here has a narrower soundstage, but that’s fine really as the instrument separation is still there in spades. In short - this is my personal best copy/version of the album hands down.

            Outstanding pressing of this album ! Insane dynamics and instruments separation, aslo so 'airy'
            I like it much more than remastered recent version ( which is also good )

              Agreed - this version is much better sounding than the remastered vinyl or CD. Clear sound and details, great dynamics!

                The sound is really perfect and clean, even having in consideration that is almost 25 minutes per side. If you have a chance, choose this version, not the remastered one.

                  I bought one today from my local record store. And honestly - it sounds better than any other LP I have, including "audiophile" 180s. I won't even try to compare it to CDs...
