Edited 4 months agoI have the album here from a friend. And this version is a miss print, it has no printed label on side 1. Only Yellow label without text EMI – 1C 064-07 715 -
Edited 10 months agoI disagree about the sound quality described by LeonTP. First; the music is first class- this is an iconic debut album. The sound is somewhat dynamic but to these ears it’s all over a thin/bright sounding pressing, sibilance is present on most tracks and the bass isn’t that great. I guess it might sound better on a more forgiving vinyl rig than the one I’ve. The vinyl itself is of a high quality as it’s very quiet, my copy is in perfect condition.
My vinyl rig:
Michell Orbe SE with SME IV tonearm, Benz Micro LP cart and ARC PH5 tube phono stage. -
In My Opinion, one the Best Marilion's LP. Great Bass Line From Pete Trewavas. Gorgeous sound For my Gyrodec.

Edited 5 years agoThis is a good sounding issue.
It has a full sound with lots of bass and high end.
The soundstage is dynamic, deep and effective in creating an atmospheric sound.
Separation could perhaps be improved some as well as presence to some performances.
The vinyl is extremely quiet if you find a clean copy as well.
Equipment Used:
Rega RP1 with Paratrace tipped Nagaoka MP-200
Cyrus 2 Amplifier
System Fidelity SF-3050 Tower Speakers
Custom made HQ Speaker Cables
