Just love this album. End to end great punchy strong compositions. Excellent bass playing and some interesting keyboard moments.

Now all we need is Intervention to release Beat Crazy at the speed it was recorded at. I'm sure it was sped up for the master.

Narrow stereo-mix renders an almost mono-like sound, but what a sound. Punches hard & rocks like nobodys business. Best played LOUD for maximum dynamics & impact. Vinyl itself is dead-silent...

Is this the only appearance of Don’t Ask Me on vinyl?

Impressive release, very detailed sound and just amazing dynamics.
The record is a bit sibilant but that is an artifact of the original recording and makes is sound very authentic. If your cartridge doesn't track grooves well enough I can imagine that this could be a problem. But on my system it sounds perfect.

It's awesome how they revived the low-end, the bass sounds so plucky and upfront. The cymbals of the drums also sound very sharp but not 'hot' so just perfect.
The only downside I guess is the fact that it's such an in-your-face recording which makes it a bit fatiguing.

Music: 8/10
Pressing: 9/10

HOLY CRAP!! Finally!! Someone who knows how to press records. Given my venture back into vinyl the past few months, I have been so frustrated with the quality -- or lack of!! But NOT THIS!!! Intervention Records are amazing. Clean. Clear. Crisp. No Noise. Can't wait to spin more from Intervention records.

One of the all time great rock records, and this is, by far, the best sounding version. So crankeable.

Is there anybody else who has problems playing this cd? My version looks NM, but all my cd-players can't read the disc. Is this a pressing problem?
