Reviews
Edited one year agoFinally a great reissue of this wonderful album
The sound is very very good +
Beautiful reprint of the cover, glossy effect
Only regret I find the record too light and thin (weight) but I still recommend the purchase for other qualities
Bought 28 € on DjShop.de
Sounds fantastic in my opinion. Definitely sounds like analog, and the vinyl is pretty good. My copy gives me no problems. I highly recommend this reissue if your looking for a good copy of this record.
