Reviews

  • GOODGROOVECIRCLE's avatar
    Like the original 80s CD issues the original vinyl pressings sound superb. The remasters pale in comparison.
    • Lekkere_Boterham's avatar
      Incredible sound, with a good cartridge this pressing sounds as if it could have been released today and wouldn't need a remaster. The dutch pressing presents all the details and has very tight but deep low-end frequencies and the vinyl has an incredible soundstage and spaciousness. I would definitely recommend picking one up if you can!
