    Very flat slab of gold vinyl. Nice & loud as befits the music. Glad I picked this one up as I've wanted it on vinyl for a while. So much new vinyl seems to be warped these days, but this one has no such issues. Gatefold sleeve & cardboard inner.

      For starters it looks like these "NEW" premium priced AC/DC reissues on gold vinyl are just the 15 yr old Marino remasters that have been repressed from old digital files to milk one of the worlds biggest bands insanely large fanbase.

      The good news is (for me at least) its a great looking press thats very quiet and flat and on centre. The less good news is its cut abit low. The worst news is that it starts out sounding well balanced but the end of the sides suffer notable IGD (and no its not my new microlined cart).

      The jacket is nicely embossed but threadbare in every aspect of build

      For the premium price asked, it should be better but my gripe is the IGD and so i still sadly havent found a record to beat my CD. Such a shane as the effort into producing the actual vinyl itself is very good indeed!
