    If the matrix are correct, then this is a DMM cut, I’m not a huge fan of DMM personally, I find DMM cuts to sound very shallow sounding, a lot of high end and not enough low end, and this album is no exception. I’m sure the Kevin Gray cut is an upgrade from an original for this reason alone.

      Great sound on this pressing. Mine has a slight smudge/mark on "And So it Goes" that causes a continuous pop every rotation on the last 10 seconds. I've tried cleaning it and it definitely looks like a pressing flaw. Bought this new when released - anyone else have this on their copy?

        Why does this release exist? It's just a US pressing that was imported into Canada. That doesn't make it a Canadian pressing...
