    I own many dublets of the same titel, but often different pressings, lands of origin and so forth. This titel i own 2 copies of. This US release and the German pressing. The US sounds a lot better, and after an A/B comparison, i have no doubt about which one to keep.

      What a beautiful recording, Sting at his best with plenty of high talent help like Knopfler, Clapton, Marsalis, Gil Evans, oh some guy named Summers. Is this a half speed master, is that why it is on two discs? Someone who knows better than me can jump in and educate

        Sensational tunes!!!! Silent vinyl. Beautiful mastering by Bob Ludwig and super cheap! Home run!

          I own this. It's absolutely incredible. Huge, full and perfect. Hard to believe this isn't a remastered 2020 pressing.

            Absolutely stunning sound on this pressing. Notice that there has never been a remastered vinyl version of this album. Why mess with perfection? This is is how it was meant to be heard and cannot be improved upon.
