    I find this remaster rather flat and lifeless and it lacks the punch of the original.

    Pressing crackles and to be fair the original cd sounds better than this

    I had both the original UK vinyl and cd.

      I recognize my special weakness for this band. In its day I had the original vinyl, but unfortunately lost over the years, so I can't make an objective comparison of this pressing with respect to its predecessor. However, it sounds frankly good to me. Not as quiet as it would be desirable, but Karate is not a band that deserves that either. The encounter, or transition, between the last pigtails of punk and hardcore rage with ages typical of jazz and miscellaneous influences of all kinds.

        Quite frankly not their best, but still pretty good! This pressing sounds fantastic. No issues with quality and it sounds great.
