    Good pressing quality as per usual with Japanese pressings of the era, and it’s a top tier album with Dio on lead vocals.

    However, the original mix is…lacking a bit in the bass side, like it sounds a bit hollow. I’m usually a fan of Birch’s production on other well known heavy metal albums, but this one just doesn’t do it for me.
