I can just add to the other comments: this pressing sounds so dynamic, warm, and rich. My copy has quite a few visible superficial hairlines, but still sounds fantastic. No audible surface noise or groove wear. I have no other version to compare it with, but I can highly recommend this pressing to anyone who's looking for a copy! ;) -
