This album is fabulous, one of Ry Cooder's finest works
I have the USA first press, the first press, the Japan first press and the Speakers Corner press
The USA Promo version is incredible, in my opinion the one with the most beautiful sound ever
Extreme transparency, beautiful dynamics, well-present bass and an overall sound reproduction that is much better than all the previously mentioned prints
I recommend it if you are looking for the best possible sound that can be obtained from this record and the cost is incredibly affordable
I was able to find the Promo USA LP easily on eBay
