Excellent pressing! Great dynamics & clarity, drums are centered, solid bass, guitar is crystal, as are vocals. Beats many of the current re-issues! Defo a one to grab and usually at a cheap price (mine cost me $5 in a store in Marrickville, NSW) sadly now closed..

The record sounds so incredible, you will get the feeling the band plays in your living room -
This is simply the best I've heard this album (grew up on a 90s CD version). Not sure what the mastering was on that CD as it seems a lot better here. Excellent bass presence, detail on lead guitar (string noise, picking technique etc), and more dynamic. My copy is really quiet, minimal noise only audible in between tracks. Also flat and pressed dead centre. Well worth picking up!
