I am listening to it as I type this and I must say the pressing is great. Great enough that I had to come on Discogs to find out the story behind it as it was kind of a impulse buy, albeit an pricey one at $45, but worth it in the end.
Excellent pressing. Best sounding version of the album I've heard (though I've not heard an original LP)...Great low end, nice and crisp mids...things like the hi-hat in Tomorrow's World and the handclaps in Bloodsport cut through brilliantly! All instruments can be heard loud and clear. No complaints at all from me.
Great remastering. It’s the best I’ve heard this recording. Beautifully done.
Do t listen to the naysayers - always give your new records a spin clean before playing them - this is a stellar pressing- Edited one year agoIs this half and half version limited? And is it gatefold? Wonder if I go for the black version since is not pressed by GZ for some reason.
I was expecting it to sound atrocious because of the double color vinyl and because it's pressed by GZ, but this actually sounds great, no pops or surface noise on my copy at all.
Edited one year agoi cannot recommend this edition, you can hear clear differences between the black and the clear part. Especially in the quiet parts, between two songs. At least the workmanship is good
