    Nice soundstage, however the cymbals and singing exhibit fair amount of sibilance. Can’t do more than 3*

      On my copy, the label looks almost black instead of grey and the inner sleeve is quite thin paper.

        Mine doesn't have the X after A2 or B2 etched on the matrix/runout. Any info on that?
