Excellent sounding original press. Very crisp, very clear. A Synth Pop masterpiece for a debut album. -
Edited 9 months agoExcellent sounding on a good system. Suffers from a bit of distortion if you have a mediocre cartridge but sounds excellent on a good one. -
Some have a gold Promo stamp in the top right corner and a gold serial number (my copy has B 487647) stamped under the promo info
