    Can't believe I found this in a bargain bin for $5. It's got some light scuffs, but nothing that affects the play whatsoever, and the sound quality on this Canadian pressing is absolutely amazing. As it says on the label -- "play loud"!

      I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this album. Clean, pure sound. Good bass. Honestly amazing stuff.

        Picked up used, the copy I got has a ton of scratches and dirt but the music quality is top notch. A quick wet clean improved the sound a tad. I almost don't care how scuffed mine is because it really does sound that good.

          This pressing is very much like the 1st U.S. pressing in both looks and sound. I have both and they are excellent records. If you can’t find the first U.S. pressing, this can be had cheaper and is a great second choice. Pass the tanning butter!

            Nice clean pressing and this music still makes my toe tap after 40 years.
