Cheap Trick – Heaven Tonight

Seems to be made from a flat transfer; not much equalization. The first CD is far from being perfect , but it’s still the best digital version of this album.

This record has fantastic fidelity. Don’t get a reissue, get this original pressing. The highs, mids and lows are perfect and with a nice wide sound stage. Exactly how a record should sound. As for the music, well… the Band rocks! And Robin Zander’s vocals were stellar back then. But due to poor lyric writing, Cheap Trick was only good for one hit per album, for a reason. Note how many times Robin repeats lines in every song. I’m sure this is what prevented double platinum status on their studio albums. Meh… have it in my collection for rock n roll history purposes (Surrender). Good enough for me. But a really solid greatest hits pressing would be Much better to own, in all honesty

This post has some difficulties with the label in the photos. Two different pieces of vinyl, of the 4 label photos one shows ink marking on side one. thought you should know.

This is an excellent cut by Ryan K. Smith at Stirling. Perfect pressing. Sticker on the cover proclaims CLASSIC ALBUM Remastered from Original Analog Tapes and should be the same mastering as the Classic album box set.

Really nice pressing. Record is quiet and flat. Outside packaging is sturdy and the insert is on heavy paper. Sounds great!

In the Track Listing, Track 7 (B2) is listed incorrectly as "On the Road". It should be "On the Radio"
