    This is indeed impressive. I have the NYA reissue but this is better.

      Seriously one of my best sounding records. Great separation, soundstage, and clarity.

        Excellent sound , although my NYA reissue blows this out of the water

          This album sounds better than some of my audiophile releases, it’s THAT good. Everything is crystal clear and the dynamics are just astonishing for a 40+ year old record. If they remastered this I doubt they could do a better job than the original, this is pure sonic bliss.

            Just reiterating, this Terre Haute press has a ridiculously precise soundstage and the depth of the deepest canyon. Hard to imagine it gets better than this. By far the best original release Neil press I've had the good fortune to hear.

              This is an outstanding pressing. I have several other versions, and this is uniquely special in the depth of sound. If you're getting any version, try to grab an authentic copy of this pressing.

                This is an amazing cut. I've got the remaster and this stands up to it all day.

                  I can't find anything on the 'V' And 'C." Hopefully, someone out there knows!
