Reviews
Edited 5 months agoFinally I get a copy in almost mint condition, definitely, if you don't have an SQ decoder and a system with 4 speakers, run and get one. Yes Iknow everybody it’s talking about The 2024 mix in Dolby Atmos that’s impeccable and ultra clean, but this one has a lot of soul and that authentic little-made-up sound that contrasts with the modern mix, let's say that this one doesn't sound like an Instagram filter- Agree with the comments below, this really is an amazing experience...a must buy!
Edited 6 months agoAs an owner of multiple copies of DSOTM, including the MFSL half-speed mastered, a copy from a small intermediate run between the 1st and 2nd UK pressings, a very early US pressing and a beautiful sounding German pressing (trust me: German pressings are fantastic, very underated), this Australian pressing is i think the best-sounding in my collection. To my ears, and on my system, anyway
I bought this for $25 bucks. It sounded terrible. Now on possibly my 7th clean, and it just keeps getting better! Was going to buy a Japanese pressing but not going to bother. Sounds bloody fantastic. The register and clocks...- This is an excellent pressing- wide soundstage and excellent high end detail. Sounds superb
- Save yourself some money and just get this instead of the overpriced UK quad, this sounds exactly the same.
Fantastic 
Holy smokes I just found an NM Quadrophonic copy of this at my local Toronto store. Psyched!!- As someone who went deaf as a teenager listening to the CD, the mix here is subtly different and does present a better soundstage than the digital version. Glad I was able to get this.
- Edited 3 years agoThis record is absolutely mind-blowing. It smashes my 30th Anniversay cut to pieces. The biggest craziest 3D soundstage ever! Also dead silent vinyl after a good clean. So, so, so good!!!!
Listening to it now and it still sends chills down my spine. The sound/mix is really incredible, even if you only have a 2 speaker stereo system.
