I have an Island pressing of this and the sound is revelatory. Get!

If you play "By This River" at 33RPM instead of 45RPM, it becomes a Dark Wave masterpiece. Just so you know...

I've read a fair amount of complaints about Abbey Road half-speed masters, this is my first time owning any to hear. Personally, I think these sound great. I've not noticed any obvious mastering/pressing issues.

By This River is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard. Gets me every time.

Hard to pick my favourite Eno album, but this is definitely up there. Sounds wonderful on flat heavy vinyl. Get this if you can!

sound is absolutely incredible, even for my quite basic setup

I always buy Editions EG Eno. I never knew how muddled his OGs could be until playing this side by side with a UK and US press. These are probably the best sounding for your $$$ and with plenty still floating around the States it's one of the few bargains left in record buying.

If anyone is looking to part with print no. 2, “Look At September, Look At October”, I will gladly buy. Copy I bought only came with the three other prints unfortunately
