Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Owen ★★★★★

The remaster finally gives "Daniel" the warmth the original pressing was missing, and the quiet passages on side two don't crackle at all. Heavy vinyl, dead flat, no warp right out of the sleeve.

Joseph N. ★★★★★

Was worried a reissue would sound thin, but this pressing is warm and full. The piano on "Daniel" sits right up front where it should, and the whole thing plays dead quiet with no warp.

Victoria ★★★★★

The remaster really opens up the low end on tracks like Daniel, and the pressing itself is dead quiet with no surface noise. Nice to finally have this one back in print on vinyl instead of hunting down a beat-up original.
