    Really wonderful sounding: everything has space and is balanced. Sounds like Magnums leading the band, not the band backing Magnum.

      Does the second press have the catalog numbers on the spine? It's very light on the top of the spine?

        This version sounds really great. The lo-fi recordings still have a nice dynamic range.

            I’ve got a spare copy of this signed by Jeff Mangum that I’m happy to part with. Give me a shout if you’re interested.
