    I can only echo what the other folks are saying about this pressing--bloody fantastic! I've always liked this album but not the sound, but this pressing changed that!

      Sounds fantastic, the bass and snare are so powerful, the instruments burst out of the speakers. Every track is great, highly highly recommended!

        This is a very recorded record, very punchy. And great track of course.

            Honestly didn't expect a whole lot from this record but it ended up being one of my favourite records within my The Police collection. Great mix and the added instrumentation that came with this record really shone through.

              Saw this tour. Seems like that was a different universe than this one.

                This is the album where The Police take the recording of their music to new heights. And this LP reflects this beautifully, with amazing space, clarity, nimble bass & drumkit whomp. I'm not kidding, this sucker packs a serious punch that can really get your woofers moving some air. One of the best sounding LPs I have ever heard.

                  Has anyone ever actually seen the DJ prototype pic disc that lights up when placed on a turntable as mentioned in Goldmine?

                    Incredible sounding album. I never would’ve guessed it would sound this good. Very well mastered. Awesome bass.
