    First LP is a 9/10 in sound but the second one needs some hardcore cleaning.

      Great copy, clear and quiet pressing, good separation with zero pops or crackles.

        This double is fantastic. I own the red LTD edition from 2018, same sleeve but beautiful heavyweight red platters.

          Outstanding in every way. And better overall sonic experience than the OG 1 LP version. Trust me! I’ve had more than a few. Main Point!!! If you’re gonna get this greatest hits album, Get This Exact Pressing! The one with “Virgin” under the barcode. The Hollywood Records version is dog$#!T.

            Great press and recording. Plays awesome on the Rega P10. Great separation and bass. Clean tracks, no pops.

              Многие современные издания записывают на 2-4 децибела выше нормы. От этого неприятные искажения. Не понятно, почему принимается такое решение

              Many modern publications record 2-4 decibels above normal. This creates unpleasant distortions. It is not clear why this decision is being made

                This plays to a very high standard in my system for a "lowly" Greatest Hits LP price wise mine was £22 May 2018!
                All of the really good sounding tracks sound REALLY GOOD like:Disc No.1 - Bohemian Rhapsody,Another One Bites The Dust(Outstanding bass playing by John Deacon also written by him),Fat Bottomed Girls,You're My Best Friend,etc. Disc No.2 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love(excellent guitar work by Sir Brian May),Somebody To Love(for me one of Freddie Mercury`s best vocals and some nice keyboards once again Brian May excellent),Now I'm Here etc. All these wonderful songs and great memories that they may bring back will leave you very satisfied with this double LP. One of things that probably to some extent isn`t really acclaimed is the rhythm section that was so potent on bass & drums/percussion of John Deacon and Roger Taylor,you can get a very good sense of the progressive baas and drums throughout this LP.

                Highly Recommended Five Stars,yes it may not be on the best quality vinyl but it`s a "budget price" LP and my tow discs are,flat,undamaged with well centered spindle holes.

                  Wouldn't recommend it. Well, everything's almost flawless, except last tracks on second LP. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy & We Are The Champions sound distorted ! Awful ! It ruins all the good that comes with it

                    Once cleaned with a wet cleaning machine (was dirty) this is a very good pressing..some noise between tracks.. Marantz TT15-S1.

                      Mine sounds very good but not great. Good separation and clean but I agree with Madman that is sounds at least slightly veiled - like there is another layer or two that could be peeled back on a better pressing. Again though it is very good though, just not great. IMO.
