Must be some new pressings out there on this with the B0019394-01 A matching in the runouts, but several other stamped numbers as well.
-
Edited one year agoPretty consistent with OG presses of this I’ve had in the past, which have always sounded a bit quiet and compressed. Monumental recording, even though it is anything but an audiophile journey. My copy had a notable warp that I settled with my Vinyl Flat.
-
I second other reviews about this pressing being flat. Had to really turn it up, definitely disappointed in the lack of quality. -
Compressed and my copy was flat but dirty. A nice cleaning helped but have to really crank it to really hear it this really needs a 2 disc pressing
-
can anyone who owns this pressing comment on the sound quality? That's a lot of music on each side
