Reviews
Edited one month agoFantastic pressing, the color RSD presses are always scary but this was well worth the price after cleaning
Very clean pressing, with low surface noise and nice sound. Low end is a bit thin, but still present. Live recordings on side D are excellent and the remixes on side C are fun.
