Boy, the reviews are either great or awful for this pressing. My opinion, greatly disappointed. I have CD versions of this album that sound worlds better than this press. For one, there is way too much snap, crackle and pop for a freshly washed disk on its first spin. Totally ruined the keyboard intro on “Tarot Woman”. Like others have said the bottom end just isn’t there and there’s too much treble in the mix. Bright and brassy. It actually hurts my ears. The drum intro to “Stargazer” (the best part of the whole damn album) has been totally neutered without the presence of the bottom end. It should actually knock you off your feet, but not even a tickle to the testicles. And Ronnie’s vocals are so weak. For someone who had a thick, dark and menacing voice, he sounds so one dimensional in this pressing.
The whole album just sounds one dimensional. The balls of this album were in the bottom end, and someone just cut them right off.
I cannot recommend this pressing at all. Avoid it if you can.
Would be a great candidate for a Rhino High Fidelity pressing. -

Vinyl of digital era. At first it seams nice but after compering it to old UK release you can clearly see that all art consist of low-res scans. Sound on A side is ok-ish: nice dynamics, but you can hear it's form digital source. By far the the biggest letdown is side B; Stargazer sounds massively compressed. -
Massive sound, very deep stage, some slight cracks at the beggining durgin keys intro but nothing major. -
Edited 5 years ago4 out of 5. Needs more bass, it's a bit bright in my opinion.. Greg Moore? Good pressing quality, flat, quiet and well centered, no warps. -
