    This pressing is amazing!! It’s a 1st press, promo, made with high quality translucent virgin vinyl. This album was digitally recorded with high quality by Sony. It was mastered by legendary master engineer Robert Ludwig. I know MOFI could be better but the first American is full of personality! This is a "Demo" quality edition!

      Note: I have this pressing with both stickers, sent to me when it came out for review, and it is not "dark see-through/translucent vinyl," just plain old black vinyl (although it sounds great).

        This pressing sounds better to me than my three others. I like the sound of it more than the MoFi, too.
