I have two copies of this album, one being this press specifically and one being a later 1979 press. This one sounds a little more muffled on the guitar while the 1979 version has more of an electric crunch. This is why I prefer vinyl over mp3s. Obviously this pressing is most likely true to sound but the other version sounds more modern.
