    Yes, I had several pressings of this LP (UK and German originals) and I'm not a fan of Japanese records but I would like to say this edition is the best.

      Just a perfect pressing of this wonderful album. Can’t imagine any other version of this album sounds better than this.

        Just received a copy and could not agree more with the other reviewers. Sounds absolutely phenomenal. Is there anyone who could comment on the original Japanese presses of Rising, On Stage and Long Live Rock N Roll. I would like to pick those up as well if they sound as good as the Blackmore's Rainbow LP. Thanks!

          Spectacularly sounding record! Nothing more to say, so deep and bright sound. Probably the best version of the album!
