Sounds clean, looks clean. Very expensive record to get in the US but with shipping it's something you'll have to accept. If you can stomach the import price, I would imagine you'll be happy with this one.

Very good re-issue for it's price. The insert are just in monochrome color and very simple design. Overall I'm really satisfied with the sound this pressing produce.

In my opinion, the repress sounds good. If that's all you care about then you'll do fine with this one. However, I wouldn't say that the album sleeve has been printed very well. I'm no expert but it has a look like it's been printed on a lower quality printer and/or there are compression artefacts from a lower resolution scan and print process.
