It's like I'm hearing this album for the first time, more than 40 years later. Yes, it is very bass-and-drums-forward. The sound seems to suit Nile's post-disco production much better than the Canadian pressing I bought in the '80s. It's very tight, and seems quite danceable. (Although I won't subject my wife to my Gen-X teen moves.) -
going by side a in my copy since side b is more worn out, sounds amazing the title track is so powerful here
-
Edited one year agoSounds just awesome. Punchy, open and wide, deep and dynamic. Crystal clear top end. What a great quality of record and pressing!
The surface is absolutely quiet. -
My only copy, so I cannot compare, but this sounds perfectly pleasant and it has punchy bass despite being a Japanese pressing. No regrets.
1 year update: This is really really good indeed. Quiet vinyl and punchy mastering. -
Such a great pressing, dynamic, punchy and great balance! Get one now that is at a decent price!

Edited 4 years agoGreat pressing indeed. Toshiba releases were made with great accuracy and care (at least all what I have)
-
Great pressing of an average album with a handful of amazing tracks. Standout songs are the singles in Lets Dance and China Girl.
