Reviews

This is the most affordable way to hear the Chris Bellman mastering from the Classic Records issue. I only have the later Craft issue for comparison but this is better, the drums have more punch and the guitars have more air, it loses a little in the mids but this album was mixed with the mids way up intentionally and this tames a little of that. I thought the Craft sounded great, this is better, apart from the mastering the vinyl seems quieter as well. Find a copy if you can.

Great pressing with superb clarity and dynamics. Mids may be a fraction lacking but overall a stellar listening experience.

My sleeve doesn't have a barcode. Record itself matches the matrix and everything else.

Given that this is essentially the 2009 Classic Records release, pressed on lighter vinyl, these records are a steal. I have both, and the difference is very minor.
