    Honestly this album is mediocre at best. I’ve cleaned it well and run under a high end cart. It’s meh.

      My copy of the record is light pink. The record is very quiet so I have to turn the volume way up but that's not a bad thing with the loudness wars going on. This version of the album sounds good and clear. This pressing well worth owning.
