    Yes this is worthy of your collection.
    Absolutely fantastic re issue.
    Highly recommend

      Pressing sounds incredible. Have had a run of relatively poor pressings that made me question the quality of modern pressings. Pleased to say this is dead quiet and so dynamic, an absolute joy to listen to!

        oh my god this pressing is freakishly good, was not expecting this to be so dynamic and loud and bassy for a repress.
        • masterblaster08's avatar
          Insanely good pressing. Plays flawlessley on my 1200GR2 / 2M Bronze. It's between this and an original pressing of Outlandos d'Amour for current top spot in the collection. Beats any version I have heard to date. Packaging top notch.

            A 100 percent agreed, awesome pressing and sleeve in outstanding quality.

              Quality pressing, paper sleeve way better than the fast food wrappers some records have. Excellent record, no issues apart from some skips on my end.

                A quality pressing. After a couple bad experiences with some of these Tamla reissues, it's nice to have a record with low-to-zero background noise and a faithful rendition of the original recording. Just beautiful, really. Well worth getting if you want a copy of this album in mint condition, do not hesitate to buy.

                  Sounds superb, really surprised as I wasn’t expecting too much.

                    By far the best Back to Black repress I heard. Clean, lively and dynamic.

                      Just bought it because I found it dirt cheap in a store today. It's ridiculously warped but it sounds incredible.
