Even after a cleaning, this pressing just doesn’t sound that great to me. Lacking in clarity, mostly. Maybe better to say it’s inconsistent - sparser arrangements sound good, but the big rock numbers are unpleasant to my ears. -
Have this and the Original UK press, both NM shape. This one actually plays loader and clearer. Wouldnt have believed it but just did a comparison today.

I have this edition
and on the SIDE A, the matrix reads like Mastering date ESR TD 5-10-76, and in the SIDE B, the mastering date is ESR TD 3-13-74
