Reviews
- This is a great sounding pressing! Lively drums, fat bass, screaming guitars.
Squint at it, and “The Necromancer” can give Sabbath a run for its money. 
Edited 3 years agoThis thing sounds awesome! The guitar tone is killer, the bass and drums are epic, not much more to say. Definitely one of the group's most underrated works, although I understand the criticism given it is vastly different than their previous two albums.
My copy has the Starman logo beneath the Side 1 marking and Side 2 on the other side
