I have a quite beat up copy (the sleeves are barely Good condition). However, looks like the LP survived as there is barely any surface noise and no skips!
Beautiful soundstage, high dynamic range and overall the sound is very wide and deep. It does seem like the clarity of the music could’ve been better if the EQ was a bit more balanced. Treble is a tad bit dull and midrange is quite high. As a result, it sounds a bit muddy but definitely not a “mud bath” like some other records I own.
I love listening to this record front to back and happy to finally own it!
