I have both US & UK first pressings of this -
a Simply Vinyl press from 2000 as well.
I mean, it’s quiet and dynamic - nicely mastered and a good quality pressing as Pallas tend to be.
I have a resolving system and I don’t hear a
lot of difference - this one has additional bass, but I never thought the other pressings were lacking for it.
I’d say if you really love this album, pick
up a clean 1st press or this one - just because they’re all analog - if that matters to you.
simply amazing, silent, quality pressing, beautifully mastered, worth every penny.- Interesting. Mine weighs a little over 200 grams. Anyways, sounds very good.
Fantastic and silent pressing with very rich and dynamic sound.- Wow! If only all reissues were this good. Highly recommended!
Does anyone know the difference (if any) between the US 2009 47770-1 and the UK 47777-1 2010 versions?- Edited 7 years agoDoes anyone know the difference (if any) between the US 2009 47770-1 and the UK 47777-1 2010 versions?
