    ¡Qué bien suena esta edición! La escena sonora, separación de instrumentos, las voces, todo muy bien logrado. No tengo problema alguno con Pedro Navaja y mi púa es una normal (audio técnica AT-VM 95 nude). Una gran opción por la gran calidad y el precio, además de ser totalmente analógica.

    This release sounds incredible! The soundstage, the instrument separation, and the vocals—everything is beautifully done. I have no issues with Pedro Navaja, and my stylus is a common one (Audio Technique AT-VM 95 Nude). A great choice for its high quality and price, in addition to being completely analog.

      Good record, some boring songs but sounds excellent, made a 1Bit DSD 2.8 MHz copy.

          In the final 30 seconds of Pedro Navaja starts to have a heavy distortion on other aspects the record is perfect and it comes with an anti static sleeve.

            It sounds fine but, considering it is a Craft I think it should be a bit brighter than this. Perhaps it is my copy, but, for instance, Plástico sounds a bit dark. Anyway, great record.

              The reissue sounds great but the end of Pedro Navaja on side one has some considerable surface noise. It could just be my copy. Otherwise great reissue.

                Comparing it to the original pressing, it sounds great. Vocals are clear and centered and the percussion throughout sounds phenomenal. A good reissue was long overdue.

                  ...does this edition have any additional notes or photos? It's not that hard to find an original pressing of "Siembra"...
