    He just smiled and gave me a vegimite sandwich! This pressing sounds amazing… it does have some high end but has a nice punch without any EQ. Another new wave classic that just jumps off the record.

      Awesome having this OG pressing and I love the band…

      Lots of Sibilance on this record…. Lows are not as low as I’d want. It does not sound very good when turned up. Surface noise galore….

      But again love having this pressing
