    Agree with the negative reviews here - this one sounds compressed and almost like a bootleg.

    I sold this and replaced it with a US cut based on the 2009 masters, which I highly recommend as one of the best in my collection - punchy, dynamic, and enjoyable (everything this Europe pressing isn't).

      Got quite a few 'Takt' releases that sound (and look) terrible (Nirvana's 'Nevermind' for example), but this one: I always record my vinyl in hi-res, and I cannot see (or hear) any signs of heavy compression.
      It looks perfect and runs through silently apart from the music.
      As the overall ratings suggest this seems to be a fine pressing, even though you might get hold of the one 'Monday morning copy'. Would even go so far to say this pressing is stellar!!!

        As said under, it sounds more compressed than what I'd expected, not as clear as it should. It also pops all the time but I think this could be solved with a nice cleaning. Still worth 4 stars for the quality of the sleeve and the music.

          Sounds compressed compared with 2009 remaster, would have expected the same quality but pretty disappointed with this version

            Mine copy says in the matrix /runout:
            010694539-A-2
            010694538-B-2.
            But C & D are the same?
