Reviews
Edited 9 months agoI cannot believe there are no reviews of this pressing on Discogs. So here’s the good news. This pressing is a complete revelation - super-warm analogue sound, and way superior to any other pressing past or present - from any other country. I’ve owned US / EU OGs, plus all the various remasters, and this is by far the best. It compares favourably to the MOFI gold CD. Artwork designed with a leather / textured cover, and inner artwork is high quality. Well worth tracking down a copy - you’ll be glad you did.
