    I stumbled across a mint copy of this for €7 in a second-hand store. It's such a beautiful album, each and every track, and the sound quality is just outstanding. For sure one of the best in my collection. My ears love it.

      Incredible pressing of an Incredible album, nothing i can add that hasn't been said.

        As expected, stunning.

        How this press compares to other I’m not sure, but I’m lucky enough to have a Mint copy and it’s fabulous.

        Sure I payed £30 but I’ve paid more for MoFi’s that are not this clean so cheap at 3x the price.

        I know SA friends that the tracks on this album evoke so terrible memories due to the troubles at the time over there & this being played so frequently due to the messages therein.

        This album is a piece of music history. Now the question is……. Do I pre-order the new release to ensure I don’t wear ‘this’ one out!

        Hmmmmm, yeah, of course I will. This original was mastered by Bob Ludwig I think, well, I only just read this so I hope it’s correct & I will check after finishing this in the hope I don’t have an Egg on Face situation.

        The release is also from the Ludwig tapes.

          Such a beautiful pressing of an untouchable album. I feel the albums message is now completely lost on the human race. With everything going on it seems that not only is empathy last but it’s been kicked to the curb and left behind but we still got the music. Hope everyone that reads this is well. X

              The sound is rich, the voice is clear.. One of my best sounding record.

                Apparently, there is going to be a reissue coming out later this summer.

                  funny what sellers charge for this record. Don't buy at these prices. This is a 5 dollar record it's everywhere on the shops.

                    I use this record to show my friends how good vinyl can sound. Dead quiet, and fantastic dynamic range. It's an amazing LP as well. Close your eyes and Tracy C. is in your home, playing just for you.
