Edited one month agoFirst off, my pressing sounds great! The live album I've had for tears on a bootleg cd. I'm guessing it recorded on cassette off the soundboard so no chance of a remix. I wonder what Roger Glover did with the masters? All in all about what I expected.

I totally agree to both previous posts. This release isn't worth the money. The reason for buying this release was that I thought that the Donington show would be some kind of restored version, but I was completely wrong. It sounds like a bootleg. Maybe the Saxon guys released it in a "Frank Zappa Beat The Boots" manner.
What's even worse in my opinion - the pressing is absolute crappy. Surface noise throughout the whole vinyls, record 1 warped. Absolutely inacceptable. If you plan on buying this release, go save the money and go for a original Carrere pressing. -
The live album is a let down. It sounds lifeless and dull and from other official versions of Saxon at Donington 1980 I have, this has been screwed up. What a wasted opportunity.

kind of a shit press. lots of surface noise, and lots of pops. maybe will sound better after a cleaning but brand new out of the sleeve its kinda jank.
