Reviews
- Clear, punchy, dynamic. The real deal. Original UK pressing for an album mixed and mastered on site. Look no further.
Without question, one of the best Pop records of the 1980's.- Good dynamics and quiet background. Guess original pressings are always better
This is a good quality pressing but somehow it sounds less dynamic and flat in comparison to a Japanese release: https://www.discogs.com/release/1847841-Wham-%E3%83%AF%E3%83%A0-Make-It-Big-%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0- Bloody nb heads revving the price up to dizzy heights cashing in on unfortunate times in our wham family disgusting
