      Boy this is a sleeper great pressing. I had a Monarch at one point and this is like 98% the same. The big draw is side B doesn't suddenly sound out of place compared to side A - they are much more balanced, as another person commented below.

        An absolutely fantastic album. My copy sounds beautiful with almost no crackle, and the cover, I only have to assume someone kept it in the shrink, as it’s near mint. Extremely nice quality pressing! 10/10

          Excellent pressing. I've compared countless versions of this album and this is the best version I've heard. It's similar to the Monarch first press but the bass is more balanced. I would honestly get this one over the Monarch. It has everything perfect about the album: crystal clear vocals in the front of the mix, insane detail, good bass, full dynamic range, great separation, and insane energy.10/10

            The record I have matches the matrix runout and the label is the same. My cover however has the riaa award on the cover which I thought was the first repress. Wondering if the cover was switched at some point of if I have a release that isn't listed. This is the only matrix issue with #2 CRP.
