Great sounding pressing ! Both of these sides are superb, with the kind of huge, spacious soundstage and amazingly rich, full-bodied tonality. Talk about jumpin’ out of the speakers! Every instrument is clear and present, laid out right there in the listening room. The sound is raw, real and exceptionally unprocessed. (.... as good as, for example, Talking Heads Remain In Light, Sterling Cut + Winchester Pressing as well !) -
This album rocks! And this pressing is STELLAR. Super punchy, open and wide, killer bottom end. Love this record!
