Extremely disappointed with this pressing ☹️ side a has a ton of surface noise but worse the mix is just awful. The piano is LOUD while the synth and other elements are buried. It’s almost grating to listen to and sadly captures little of the magic of the digital recording. Huge disappointment for me.
I've got really upset with huge amount of surface noise and flat and dull sounding side A. It is almost uncomfortable to listen even after few washes, still hurting my ears. I don't notice such degradation with digital source. Side B sounds really good in comparison.
Is it only my copy or have you noticed that too? Is there anybody who can compare this release with Die Schachtel regards sound quality, Fr. Messina track especially?
