...sonoran..dub.. Dec 25, 2022
Incredibly good sound quality. Dead quiet, overall mix is even and balanced.

I highly recommend this pressing over an original or that awful new remix. Most originals I have seen have pressing flaws. On the remix they messed with the drums on One Slip, and it ruins the song. This one is quiet and sounds excellent.

What can I say nice quiet vinyl flat very dynamic recording.
Better the first pressing ?
I'd say yes main reason, it has been pressed on better vinyl + master engineering is noicably superior!
I flicked my original for the replacement cost a solid improvement and investment 101.

A fantastic flat pressing and no noise. I love this album but not as a PF album...more like a really good classic rock album from the 80s. Fav song for me is On the Turning Away. I am not very upset that this is cut from a digital file as everything other than bass and drums is recorded in 80s lousy digital anyway...actually its probably better than Pro Tools sound...so never mind. Still a really really amazing album and worth every penny to own.

This is a great pressing. Sounds fantastic. It only took me 34 years to really get into this album (and I saw them in 1988).Also, it's going cheap on Amazon, now they have the remix to sell for top dollar.

Slightly confusing as to wether this was first recorded to 24 track analogue then overdubs added digitally or vice versa. Perhaps lineage is ADA. Good sound though

Excellent pressing! Very quiet, full dynamics and no ruined by today's loud compression, even on new vinyl. I always ask people to check their rig. Yes, i sound like a broken record but it's so essential on the playback. Even on new and old pressings, the difference in huge when checking a few things on your set-up.

Great job on the vinyl packaging, remastering and lacquering. All those 2016 Pink Floyd reissues sound spectacular (I also own DSOTM)

Just received this yesterday - anyone else have a slight "bump" sound that occurs at least half way thru the very first track? Also, some songs sound a little muddy on my humble system. By comparison, The Cars reissue of "Heartbeat City" sounds amazing - received both on the same order.
