    I own many pressings of this album. Probably too many. I always come back home to this one. It holds a special place with me, because it was my introduction into rock music in the early 70's. I just love this album.

      Mine is 3 (This submission) in above. Sounds so clear, especially Steve Howe's acoustic guitar at Roundabout.

        I think this one is the definitive first UK pressing.
