Great fidelity with thumping bass and nice snap on the snares, fluid bass and crystal clear highs. Nice soundstage! Terrific! [Tech specs in my profile]. -
Moon and Entwistle shine on this pressing, really full and loud. I’ve got a German ‘73 release that sounds nice too, but not as loud as this one which knocks you in the face, in a good way. If you’re looking for an all analog original of one of the greatest albums of all time, you won’t go wrong with this one.

Edited one year agoThis pressing sounds incredible. One of the coolest packages overall as well with the beautiful gatefold and booklet. Edit: only 4 stars because it's perfectly imperfect due to record 2/side 3 on which the runout groove is dysfunctional causing the needle to go scraping across the label if left unsupervised. Seems to be a manufacturing flaw pressing issue, as picked up a second copy and it does the exact same thing on record 2/side 3 specifically. Time to try another version.
