    Really lovely! A nice budget audiophile disc, and pretty good music, too.

      Great record. Very good sound. A classic of the era well represented as most would expect from MoFi.

        LOVE LOVE LOVE! One of my first MFSL purchases. Bought 3 and only recently, 43 yrs later, had to open and break-in another to have a perfect player

          Incredible sound. I think this was before they started using super vinyl. Little noisy even tho it’s near mint.

            This is hilarious... I have a copy that I bought brand new when it came out. And, as limited edition and as old as it is, it is only worth about $25...??? Totally hilarious : )
