Recommendations
Reviews
Side A of this album sounds absolutely amazing. Side B sounds great also, but doesn’t quite have the depth of the RL side. Ludwig did a truly amazing job on this album
Edited 3 years agoI found a copy that I believe to be this pressing, but my runouts are odd:
Side 1 - SPO 3750-A-RCA2 MASTERDISK RL ^1C (those last three digits are very faint)
Side 2: SPO 3750-B-RCA1 MASTERDISK ^1A (again those last 3 digits are very faint)
everything else matches this listing's pressing descriptions.
My Copy 393 750-1 Gema have no label on side 1
My copy has the number A&M SP-3750 but there's also R-15066 at the bottom of the back of the sleeve, and that number is on also on the label, as R-15066-A (on side A) and R-15066-B (on side B). Does this make a difference?
Even in the vinyl edition I find the recording flat no depth
