Listening to this now. Wow. Very impressed. it sounds fantastic. Quiet Flat Noiseless and the package is beautiful. The music just engulfs the sound stage and I just cant say enuff. Digital or no ...good is good regardless of the source. Its all about the mastering and they did a fantastic job at Abbey Road. Nice. BTW my copy has a Made in Germany sticker on it.

Got to be the glossiest inner sleeve I've ever seen...

Not patch on the ORG Robert Ludwig pressings I own multiple copies anyone who saying otherwise is in need of a hearing test.
Brian's vocals on this copy is complete compressed and bought very forward in the mix.
The saxophone has far to much reverb guitar detail is way to loud the drums are a mess.
If you're looking to buy don't waste your money.
Buy a first pressing it kicks with way more punch cleaner mix with much better quality instrument separation...👌

Sounds brilliant soundstage out of all Roxy Music series of recordings this is their best effort 👌
Cut by Robert Ludwig certainly has made this album stand out from the rest.
Instrument separation is by far something of a stand out leaving the Abbey Road pressings behind in that classic classy soundstage quality.
Especially Brian's voice has a very nice quality to it on this particular album..10/10

Different running order on this Japanese 'Black Triangle' CD, who knows why?

I can only echo what is said below - Avalon has been one of my favourite albums for 40 years and this is the best it’s ever sounded to me. Crystal clear, but with all the depth & warmth of the original, and a perfect pressing. The other thing to notice about the current Roxy reissues is the improvement in the artwork. The 2017 outsize sleeves were truly shocking - I was amazed they got past Bryan the (in)famous perfectionist.
