Owned this album since 1986. It's been played with numerous cartridges and phono stages. However,now is the time to review this pressing.
This pressing is simply sensational. Deep bass,uncanny separation of instruments,you can hear Ellefson's bass at all times,even short fills.There are no shrill,screeching notes or vocals.Huge slam on drums. There are so many layers of music coming at you it can be overwhelming at times. Placement of instruments is fabulous too.The SHM-CD is outstanding,but this pressing beats it for sheer realism. Reviewed at very high volume in respect for the genre. Grab a copy if you can as the information is in those grooves.
Reviewed on Linn LP12/Ekos/Ortofon Windfeld ti/Ortofon ST-80SE/Dynavector P-75/Bel Canto eVo2i/Shahinian Arc. -
Great for the price. Much better than the remasters. Mine has a few skips, likely due to the condition, not the quality. Sleeve looks very vibrant too.
