    Bass sounds fine to me. Hits hard on The Man Won't Annoy Ya. Low end a little less defined on Side A but not bad overall. A solid release IMO. Crank it up and it really comes alive.

        Kinda disappointed with the sound on this one. Bass is way bloated and overpowering. Probably the nature of the recording but while my original copy is a bit noisy I think the bass sounds better. YMMV. The pressing itself is really good though. Flat and quiet.

          agree high quality pressing sounds raw like punk should with punch to it excellent mix/mastering, cut for vinyl by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Mastering.

            This pressing is like fine Sushi. It’s raw but its perfectly mixed and is an amazing addition to any punk’s collection.
