    Dynamic, precise, natural. The vocals sound incredible. Perfectly recorder and mastered. Very happy.

      The copy I have with the serial number 5C 062-97176 is on white vinyl.

        I have two versions of this release, the only difference is the placement of everything on the back of the outer sleeve, it's all about two centimeters lower on one of them. I assume it's a misalignment or something.
