chuleta_86 Sep 10, 2024
Great dynamics. Nice analogue sound. I guess is better than reissue
STYLOUS Nov 30, 2023
Picked this up from eBay after wasting money on the Friday Music reissue. This one is in VG+ condition and sounds very good. I should have just spend $$ on a used one to begin with!

One of the first records that Ive ever bought (in the beginning of the 90s). I have very special relationship to this one. Maybe not the most audiophile record there is, but this is pretty powerful, pretty dynamic and musical, and the vocals are on good balance. Overall this is very very pleasant pressing of a Great deput album!
Dzubox Jul 13, 2023
This Europian/Germany pressing sounds very good. The sound is well balanced, warm and crisp.
bourbigot Sep 19, 2022
Pas le meilleur album, je lui préfère carrément "Slave To The Grind" chef d’œuvre absolu. Mais pour des débuts c'est largement honnête.
recordswillberecords Mar 6, 2022
Unfortunately, the debut album of "Skid Row" does not have the best recording quality, but Sterling Sound did its best in a vinyl cut. The best sound you can ever hear from this album is in this format.
