    Wish I could give this pressing a 6/5. The dynamic range and soundstage on it is absolutely insane, and Noel Redding's bass really shines through on this pressing, more so than the 2010 Marino remaster for me. if this shows up for a reasonable price, don't hesitate.

            This corresponds very closely to the copy I have. However that has 108 on the inner sleeves.
