    Sounds great to me! Cranked the hell out of this through my Forte IV’s and it has great sound, quiet between songs, no complaints on the dynamics or overall sound. I’d imagine an elliptical cart would have a hard time with IGD as this is cut pretty close to the center, my 740ML tracked it well however. No complaints for the price!

      The cover is blurry but the pressing is so good.

        What a sloppy bad cover design. Same picture on all sides. There is no group photo in the original. It is not clear which is the an and b side of the record. Because of such bad press, I'm losing interest in collecting records.

        The saw pattern in the middle of the CD could have been applied to the paper in the middle of the record as well. But where is this creativity and vision? There is a logic of releasing it to the market as soon as possible and making money.

          I can’t complain about this record for the price. Not like I really have anything to complain about. This album though, is just amazing. Not a bad track on it in my opinion.

            $20 on Amazon can’t beat it for that price and sounds great

              Sounds excellent to my ear. Clear across the spectrum, no flaws. Bass are ok. Really good.

                This must be maybe the cheapest vinyl reissue out there.

                  My copy sounds amazing, full dynamics, fantastic pressing. However, it did not include a download card for the album.

                    I have this and I never listen to it. My CD from the early 90s sounds way better. I think this album was recorded digitally anyways and I cant notice any tangible benefit to having the vinyl other than it looks really cool. Unless some boutique label picks this up and gives it the treatment it deserves, just stick with the CD.

                      The blurry covers is a issue of scanning. It is the same with all reissued Iron Maiden vinyls as well. Many of the covers artwork are lost, so they scan old covers, and they don't care if it turns out blurry. It is all about quick $.
