    Nice and punchy mastering with excellent dynamics, as it should be. You can really blast this one without any fatigue. Not overly bright despite the barrage of jangly Rickenbackers and 12 strings. And of course, pressed on high quality vinyl which wasn't always the case in the early-mid 80s in the US (although the Quiex vinyl used for early US pressings of this and Murmur is excellent). Really happy with this one!
