The album arrived fast, clean, hole centered, perfect shape, no warp just great album manufacturing in 180g. Recording is very smooth, delicate, sharp, crisp, detailed, uncompressed and revealing but gives a relaxed slight laid back feel. In my system and I am critical, the album had lots of bass not super huge maybe 5% subdued but its not suppressed, its prominent. The dynamic range was great not open reel tape large but still close, very enjoyable pace, rhythm and timing. Actually this LP is mastered from original tape source that captured details not heard clearly on the CD version I have, but records will have some analogue flaws. Still the LP is piercing, unpolished and yet easy on the ears. Pressing was excellent, no skips, tics or pops, contains all its ringing, echo and keyboard was almost too clear. Some I read say the mastering is bleh or compressed, no dynamic range are needing perhaps a new stylus or wash that album in a ultrasonic bath to get it alive again. Yes, its not a Mofi where you will have more dynamic range engineered, exceptional tape readers and much further effort in mastering but its close. For the price, I still recommend this version because its 2 channel presentation beats both the CD and SACD 5.1 I have in my collection. Enjoy the music.Read full review

The album is very quiet, but the mastering is bleh. The sound is compressed with no dynamic range whatsoever. I would have preferred a used original with the inherent clicks and pops over this. This will be my first and last "New" release and will stick to buying used originals.

I bought this as a replacement of the original vinyl I got from my mom. For a remaster, it sounds great! Can still hear the bass perfectly. The posters and stickers are awesome. The protective sleeve for the vinyl is lined with a special type of plastic that won’t scratch.
