    Yip - this is the best pressing you’ll get. It’s got more punch and clarity than any UK or Japanese original (which I have). There’s tons of base and a full soundstage. MOV are probably the most under-rated vinyl pressing firms around. I have so many unexpectedly good pressings from these guys.

    Cost me A$50 and it’s as good as any MFSL version of other albums (excl the 2x 45rpm which are in another league).

    Buy it and be happy.

      Agree with others, MOV did great on this one. I bought a signed copy at his concert in Reno, NV.

        A remarkable sound, an audiophile experience from start to finish.

          This 2011 pressing by Music On Vinyl is outstanding, lots of detail, atmosphere, and nuance. An incredible follow-up to The Alan Parsons Project 'I Robot' and the precursor to 'Eye in the Sky.'

            Beautiful sounding recording - far superior to the original commercial release!
