This sounds good, but if you want a true audiophile experience, I'm told you should seek out the original. This one is cut by Wes Garland at NRP and as far as I can tell, is not AAA like the original one cut by Brian Gardner.

Still, this is a nice pressing. There is little-to-no surface noise and the music still sounds good, just a little thinner in the bass and lacking some dynamics.
