The ten last sales of this release should be deleted from the sale statistics.
This scam sales totally destroys the median price statistics

The Blu-ray is protected. In the quadraphonic mix, Osbourne's voice is mixed weak. It is almost like a karaoke mix.🎤

Fantastic copy, bass is tight with great instrument separation, I picked up a NM copy few years ago and it's amazing.

The VMP Reissue uses the same plates but we have to remember overtime reusing same parts bring wear and decreases the sound quality, it's a given. But still for all analog cut by KG, the purple reissue is a great copy to have.

The DVD isn't protected and has Stereo and 6Ch that's it. The Quadraphonic is missing!

I'm using DVD Audio Extractor.
