    Not the best sound A-Ha vinyl album I've listened to so far(I've listened to like 7 different ones of them). I'd give this one from 3 to 4 stars comparing to the other albums issued on vinyl. This one would be on pair with the brand CD album issued back in 2000s. Someone would like more one or another depending on the audio system you've got to replay each one. To me, CD album sounds "better" especially for particular tracks. It might be the audio system I used to replay the CD album for was more advanced one comparing to my present turntable set up. Anyways, I listened to this vinyl album in Hi-Fi middle range priced headphones very fine in the spec ranges. No info what country the record were printed it, but's licensed to Rhino Record for sure. A 3 star vinyl stereo experience. Nice songs. 4 stars in overall. I'd say this album is not superior to 2000's brand CD album at least.

      Super happy to find this album on vinyl, the quality of the pressing and the remastering are impeccable.
      Super quality and much better than on cd, a real rediscovery.

          terrible recording quality , do not buy ! From the middle to the end, the sound quality deteriorates, although the vinyl itself looks good. the last two reissues are terribly recorded, this applies to the two albums that were released on vinyl for the first time!!! shame on the manufacturer!!!!! it would be better not to do anything, turn music into garbage!!!
