Surprisingly great mastering here, says direct metal mastering on the cover, maybe thats why. Everything about this pressing is bizarre but it sounds punchy as hell

With the 2011 Chris Bellman cut getting harder to find, I decided to pick up this current in print pressing at Barnes and Noble. Glad I did! Spectacular stuff. Some of the quietest grooves you’ll ever come across. And I listen to most of my vinyl via headphones.

Mastering itself is a superb. Never heard Dee Dee’s bass this well in all of my years of listening to this album. Tommy, Joey and Johnny explode through the speakers as well. Just a delight.

Good to know that one of the great albums of all time is available via an affordable, well put together and easy to find edition.

Compared this to my 2016 Mono Edition on vinyl and this one wins hand down. The mono edition is a pretty harsh on the top-end.

For those who own both this and the 2011 version, is it worth tracking that one down?

My copy doesn't have shrinkwrap on it so no idea if was a "Super Saver" or not. Just seems like a regular old Sire pressing of a record that, let's face it, was not exactly recorded at Abbey Road with Alan Parsons engineering. It's flat and quiet and sounds great for what it is. Original inner sleeve with lyrics, vastly preferable to a modern reissue, and won't cost much. Mine is in EX and I paid $25.

Excellent sound and pressing quality, highly recommended especially since it can be had for 20 bucks or less.

About as good as you can expect this album to sound. I've heard this on so many formats and this reissue vinyl is now my favourite.

Cheap, fantastic, dynamic sound. Couldn't ask for more, really. Buy it

Sounds compressed and not a great sounding pressing despite the low noise.

This is probably the best pressing of this record that I ever heard.

I have a first press. The inner label has the song misspelled as "Beat is on the Brat". However, Blitzkrieg Bop is spelled correctly. Hmmmmm.

why doesn't this album have a pop tag? because the guitars are distorted?
