Edited 9 months agoThis pressing sounds amazing. Way better than the original pressings and the MoFi pressing. The MoFi LP is brighter and more detailed while this pressing is smooth, warm, and dynamic.

Great sound, straight as a stamp---worth every cent! (Since my TT is zero automatic and keeps on plying endlessly, I actually enjoy that the last track has the ocean sound (Side 1) enlessly! With all records would have that... = ) -
Sounds wonderful, dead quiet with only a handful of pops (3-4 at most). Very dynamic as well. The issue about the last track on side A not fading out is very true however, it loops.

I suspect no test pressings were done for this.
The last track on side one doesn’t fade out, in fact the sound effect is cut into the runout groove and ends abruptly. I’ve listened to the original, and this new cut has been cocked up in a really bad way. It will be interesting to see if a new master & cut will be done and supplied to us who have bought it on release?
Poor show from the normal gold standard product from AR
