    Was rather impressed having never listened to this album before. Pressing sounds quite nice through my pretty decent system, can’t complain.

        I did not listen very passionately to this release. But even so I did not feel much regarding the mastering or pressing. I would put my money on the newer 2016 re release if anything. I can not speak for them but from what I hear almost all the 2016 re releases were brilliantly done, so unless you are really looking to save money or dont care too much about sound you should look into those instead.

          Can someone explain to me the difference between this one and Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason To me they look like the exact same release.
