    Sounds pretty nice to me! Good bass, good clarity on the guitars and Sandy’s voice sounds beautiful. Some clicks and pops on my copy but not too distracting.

      An ebay listing has this down as a 1974 press, which is likely as it would coincide with the Dutch 1974. Also,, 74 was the last year of the Pink Rim.
