As a person who spent 700$ to buy a NM copy, I can assure you that it doesn't worth it at all.
Sounds just a fraction better than my Time of the Zombies AAA reissue'73 which was bought for 45$ LOL
Only reasonable for collector's purposes, not sound wise...

I have a Canadian cover with an UK orange Columbia label. I bought this new at Sam The record Man in Toronto when I was kid. It has a Pars printed cover. Has anyone else seen this combination.

Note for note, a stone cold 60s masterpiece. Bang on that cool bohemian trippy vibe but as well as that it oozes with harmonic interest and compositional brilliance.
Burn the history books, they're worthless.

I really like this issue even though they lied about using the mono version of Side Two Track Three (as it says above). Quite happy it's stereo. Fits in better with the rest of it.

Side 1 filled with the dreaded pops and clicks. No visible scratches. Side 2 plays fine. Sound is good throughout.

Sonically speaking, a solid sounding reissue (clearly from a digital source) but mine has a repetitive whoosh through A1-2, as well as numerous "scratchy" surface noises throughout. Super annoying. Bare bones packaging. I will probably seek out a replacement.

Is it just me or is “This Will Be Our Year” the mono mix? I thought the horns shouldn’t be there if it was the stereo version?

Second what others have said, this is a lovely pressing. Good dynamics, clear and good imaging and soundstage. A belter and a little cheaper alternative to a UK pressing.

Can someone give a brief review of how this sounds? Is it worth the buy?

Actually a pretty good copy. I haven’t heard any other pressings but even so for someone who loves this album and just wanted a pressing, I am definitely satisfied.

Interesting to note that despite being a mostly stereo pressing the track “This Will Be Our Year” (which is one of my favorite songs of all time) uses the superior mono version with horns.
