Reviews
The dynamics, especially on the Storm version, are just astonishing. The drums almost knocked me out of my seat at times. I don't know how to interpret the data below, but it certainly doesn't sound compressed.
I'll add that this has become one of my favorite records. The story is beautiful, though sad, and Anneke sings it with such passion. I think I prefer the Gentle version, if only because it highlights the vocals more. That one brings me to tears every time.
Details on my system linked from my profile page.- I have an original pressing. Is there a noticeable sound difference that would justify me getting this reissue?
Sounds stellar, just like the first pressing.
