Super-clean pressing of this classic album. Mastering is warm - though not overly detailed. From what I’ve been able to discover, Atlantic we’re sent a copy tape, so it’s not cut from the master tape. The album was not that well-recorded - Super Trouper was the album where ABBA finally hit their straps from an audiophile standard, so set your expectations accordingly. Personally, I’ve always found the Japan Discomate pressing of this album to be the go-to copy, but this is a close second.
