    Has anyone compared it to the UK press? Especially in low frequencies
    • vinylmaniac05's avatar
      vinylmaniac05
      To me personally the low frequencies are cut off. Sounds a bit harsh. Don't know if there is a better master available or if this was intended as such.

        This is a solid German pressing with the sound qualities that are typical of German releases. I recommend this version.

          Also bought on the market, EUR35, but in really good condition!

            The time track of "Let's go to bed" & "The Love cats" is wrong: Both are the extended versions in fact. I don't know if it happens only in this edition…
