Fantastic pressing! Crystal clear, with great bass depth, and no noise even after 45 years. Found it on a record store for $5 because it didn't have the insert or the OBI, so it was an absolute steal.
-
Wow. Pleasantly surprised. Replaced my 45rpm MFSL LP with it, which wasn't particularly silent and I don't like the format anyway. For half the price I am not fully satisfied. All I need. Case closed. -
Oh my goodness - it sounds just amazing. Crystal clear, deep and immersive. I had 2020 pressing and this Japanese release beats it up just like a child. The presence effect is so high, that I you can see every instrument and Mark itself right in the room.
-
As with most Japanese pressings in this era, the pressing quality is excellent and the record is quiet as can be; however, it is lacking a bit of oomph.
