          Amazing sound quality and vinyl excellent! Thick inner sleeve, so had to be careful not to scratch vinyl when taking it out and replacing in polylined inner.

                    Sounds very good, better than BSK 3266 release from 1978 - sound is more balanced. Worth buying.

                      Features a thicker inner sleeve with a beautiful b&w photo of the band on one side and lyrics on the other. Mastering is amazing although sibilance is slightly pronounced on Wild West End and Lions. A definite keeper and it's still my favourite DS album to date.
