Sounds absolutely stunning, ittedly there are a few pops here and there, I think the record came dirty from those cheap paper sleeves. But it’s really nothing too distracting since the actual sound of this record is explosive and full. One of the best albums ever made and this original pressing does it justice. A work of art by one of the most innovative and uncompromising bands of the last 4 decades. -
