    Not the best pressing ever, but it sounds very good for what it is. Don't agree with the cassette thing someone said here before, it sounds crisp, and nice bass, even tho it could have a little more.

      I don't have an OG press to compare this to, but I have the Who Cares A Lot Compilation with a few of the same songs. This one sounds better, much more clarity and alive, can hear every instrument and drum/kick, if this sounds muddy to you then there is something way out of EQ on your system. That being said, the remastered versions on the compilation just sound like they tried to boost the bass and compress it more. For those complaining about a thin recording, that's the way this record ALWAYS sounded, this missed the brick wall limiter wars that were soon to come and the music sounded real with natural peaks and valleys, embrace and enjoy it!!!

        Well, i really like this album songs, but i gotta agree with the other reviews, this press sounds kinda thin… i was expecting that hard hitting for “Falling to Pieces”, but the mix sounds kinda thin/muddy…

          Agreed with the other review, very thin sounding, not much body to it.

            Sounds kind of distorted and thin tbh. I couldn't imagine even the cassette sounding much worse.
