Edited 8 months agoI owned UK/Alsdorf gatefold pressing and this Japanese one. For me UK/Alsdorf much better in of presence, definition and dynamics, very groovy sounding record. Japanese pressing sounds flat, lifeless, with inferior sound quality but it has better bass. UK pressing plays with very weak low ends. I think that Japanese edition do not worth hundreds of $$$ for me it sounds unpleasant -
