      What can I say other that I agree with everyone else? a solid pressing that sounds amazing. Very pleasing packaging that replicates the orginal release. Very highly recommended.

          Maybe, just maybe the original Vertigo UK release is a tad more heavy. But if $200 for a NM copy is out of your reach don't fret. This issue is AWESOME! I heard things I didn't know were even there in the original press. Ozzy is more present in an almost haunting way. Who did the mixing on this reissue? Give him a Nobel prize! Now!

            This is a highly underrated pressing, judging from the bargain prices on offer. Everything in balance, nice fat bass, wide soundstage and the vocals soar above everything. Apart from soft whooshes in a few quiet intervals, pretty noise free as well.

              Sounds excellent to my ear. Clear across the spectrum, no flaws. Bass are ok. Really good.

                    Soul-filling sound, clean and well-balanced. This pressing gives me a lot of pleasure when listening to it at high volume.

                      Sealed copy needed a clean, especially side 2. Still a bit of noise during Warning, but overall a reasonable version. Mine also has a slight warp.
