Reviews
- I have never heard this album sound so full and powerful as it does here.
- This pressing is the best you will ever hear this great album in any format.
Great sound, nice and punchy. Only wish it came in a lined sleeve!
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to late at night with my audeze headphones. A fine piece!!!
This album is fantastic. You will not believe the sound. Perfect
I have never owned a copy of this release in any format ever. Excellent pressing, mine is perfectly flat and quiet...incredible amount of detail and clearly the 1/2 speed did its job. Much more warm than I expected and it is digital done right on vinyl. Bravo AR...such a bargain for the price, sheesh...will not regret buying this!
Yes , this is the reissue i hoped for ! The original and the reissue sounds too bright to my ears . This AR edition is way more in balance . Good tight bass and treble more friendly 🙂- I was a little concerned as, on a visual inspection, the vinyl looked a bit flawed here and there. However, it plays perfectly and sounds great. I’d rather that than those numerous records which look perfect but play like crap. A bugbear is the lack of a lined inner, which is pretty unforgivable with a premium release. Easily cured with the immediate deployment of a proper inner, so the record only had to slide out of the paper sleeve once!
- Wow! That's all there is to say. Wow! Buy it, listen to it, and then listen to it again. This may be the quietest album I've ever heard. A superb mastering. So many details!
Edited 10 months agoAbsolutely stunning remaster-reissue.
Could not believe my ears! It sounds like I’d be listening master tape in the studio.
Everything is on the right place, sound balanced, dynamic, pleasant. Zero sibilance. Amazing tight bass!
This is simply my definitive version of this amazing album.
