    The music is excellent, but unfortunately, the pressing is terrible. Well, that's European eco-friendly policies for you—worse and worse recycled vinyl granules.

      Wow, what an improvement! It breathes and the bass is firm and prominent without being blurry like many other reissues. Mid's and treble is just perfect. The space used on side A shows a non-compressed outcome as well, opposed to the awful 2011 MOV reissue.

      Equipment: Genelec 8361A monitoring - room treatment and set perfectly flat. Rega Ania Pro stylus. Rega RP40 turntable. Mackie MS1202VLZPro mixer.

        Forget the Remastered From Original Tapes sticker....Its just ok.

        The overall sound is abit muted and flat... the snares, hi hats lack crispness and therefore lack transient expression but yet arent entirely smooth at the same time so the worst of both worlds. The DMM process used on the 2011 MOV pressing has a better top end and restores what is missing here while doing do without adding harshness. As a pressing, the MOV is also FAR lower of noise floor. GZ Media cant get close to Record Industry for pressing quality and so it proves once again. This one also has a little lumpyness in the lower end. After multiple back to backs, in my opinion this has less life than the MOV version while being warped with a bit of non fill and generally more regular ticks than the best pressings..... so back it goes!

        I'll be gladly keeping my old MOV!

          Very nice remaster. Improves everything but changes nothing. By that I mean greater depth and clarity. Instruments emerge from the mix with a much crisper bass anchoring everything. But still it retains the overall 1970's warmth. I bought this with two others from the 2023 Remasters series

            Nice remastering, good soundscape, good pressing.
            This is an instrumental release, fine inspiration.
