    A bit rough. Quite a bit of pops and crackles but beggers can't be choosers.

      Sound quality is as good as a european release.
      artwork is the same as the EU release.
      Text is all in portuguese.

        Very nice edition. I've never heard Brazil records before, but this release sounds really great.
