      this bass on this pressing kicks ass but can't justify the price of it. just hope the 180g version lives up to the original.

        Vinyl available now at Juno Records UK for £49.99 !! Beautiful piece of music even on a CD, pressed at the Third Man pressing plant Detroit Michigan so should be solid!!
