I've always loved the sound of this UK pressing, especially the drum sound. It might even rival the Warner Bros. 8-track that the band feels is the best-sounding version of this album. -
My copy of this is sublime. Brilliant pressing. Far superior to latter day represses. They knew what they were doing 40 years ago.
