    Good pressing but I Prefer my DCC vinyl copy. It is a different animal.

      Does anyone else have a copy of it and the last two songs on side a ("Sweet Lady" and "Seaside Rendezvous") sound distorted? I checked my stylus and it's not the case.

        One of the best sounding records I've ever heard. In contrast to the raw, gritty sound of the first UK pressing, this one is smooth and musical. The mix is very well balanced, filling out the bottom end that was lacking in the original pressing, while not feeling as bloated as the other remasters. The disc is dead silent and reveals every detail in the music. There are some songs where I feel like the roughness of the original play better into the music like '39 and Your My Best Friend, but the gentleness of the mastering really brings out the nuances in songs like Love of My Life and Bo Rhap. Most of all though, as Vedjamn said, The Prophet's Song sounds unbelievable! Crank it up and enjoy the ride, because you will be hard pressed to find anything else as epic. Well worth the price for that track alone.

          The mix is well worth being the most expensive album I ever bought.

            Like most of the MOFI pressings this one sounds fantastic and is one of the better sounding MOFI releases that i own, which is about thirty. "The Prophet's Song" sounds so epic and you can't help but crank it up. Can get pretty pricey but if you are any kind of Queen fan and enjoy high end vinyl this is a must.
