      This version needs some cleaning up. States above Made In USA-Digital Disc Audio Corp but above image of disc clearly shows Made In U.S.A. by WEA Manufacturing

        For those interested in weird skip on "Caught in a Mosh".
        The pressing without it exists.
        It is Specialty one.
        Unlike all Specialty and Allied issues that I've seen it has matte labels but not glossy.
        Unlike all SRC pressings that I owned it has no EAST embossed on side 2.
        And it is on Quiex-type translucent wax with mixed amber/grey colour.
        Never seen before.

          This is not called a remaster, but it might as well be. The mix is perfect, all elements being in perfect harmony. This 24-bit 96k release is alternately smooth as glass or sharp as a razor, as the music dictates. It's a gut punch that feels good.

            The perfect thrash album! Production, riffs, guitar/bass tone, groove, attitude. Everything really came together for Anthrax on this album. Truth be told, Among the Living is probably the only album from them that still holds my interest as a whole. Persistence of Time comes as a close second, but it can't touch this. I'm happy to own a NM/NM first US pressing of this gem.

              Wasn't happy with the quality/consistency on UK release (Anthrax - Among The Living) so decided to try this release, its definitely a quieter cut and the sound is more consistent on both sides compared to (Anthrax - Among The Living).

              Tested listening with grado open back headphones (which are quite bright), once cranked it sounds pretty good and slightly better than release (Anthrax - Among The Living), the highs seem slightly boosted but without any loss of bass, bass sounds good actually, but I need to record them both and compare on some software for a better test. Doesn't escape the issue with inner groove distortion, but it does seem to be not as bad as the UK release in this regard.

              However I think the original recording might be the issue with distortion /quality (not that its terrible by any means, just wish it was a bit clearer all round). I may try a US copy in the future, though that doesn't seem free of problems!

              Additionally the sleeve on this Japanese edition is made of slightly firmer cardboard and gives it a more robust feel than the UK sleeve.

              The two inserts are great!

              Very happy with this for now,

                I can attest to the other reviews, the sound gets better on side B. I have just bought Anthrax - Among The Living and its cut quieter which seems to help the sound. I am wondering if I need to get a US press to get the best sound.

                  This album was turning point to happier and crappier thrash metal worldwide. Cry for Indians! At least it's memorable crap.

                    What an awesome album. So powerful and full of great Anthrax songs. So glad to have this in my collection.

                      Still have the original that I bought when this record came out in great condition. It is a 5/5 record, both in content and sonically.
