PaulJP54 Dec 12, 2021

Great dynamic sound, with a lot of detail.
The vinyl is dead quiet.

Rosco10 Oct 26, 2019

Not normally my cup of tea but I ended up with this album in my collection somehow and played it as I couldn't afford to buy more LPs.
Roll on thirty years and it still gets played and have just replaced it with the reissue. It's just a good album and Valentine Heart is a masterpiece.
