Recommendations
Reviews
- Absolutely perfect pressing. Dynamic and vibrant throughout. Excellent balance and range. This one’s the one you want.
- I don't know of an album title that would be more pretentious, but the music... naive euphonic pop pluckering straight into your heart - pure unadulterated bliss. Everyone should be kissed by OMD.
