Superb release and even compared to my original '87 pressing...this comes out on top...no sibilance and much better bass and midband. The pressings are excellent, done at Optimal and lacquered by Bernie Grundman. I'm glad I got the Warner Bros release as the catalog shifts in it's entirety to Sony/Legacy and not fond of their current pressing quality.
Discogs keeps removing comments about how this release was blocked from selling up until a week ago.
great pressing no surface noise wide and dynamic soundstage great job
I wish they would've included the mysterious "Camille" album that he cut as his alter ego. I think only one actual copy exists.
