Solid mono remaster! This has a pleasing well-balanced soundstage with grooving bass that doesn’t overpower the midrange or high end. Detail and clarity of each instrument wonderful and has some depth to the music. Guitars can be oh so slightly hot on a few songs at high volume (unlike my ‘68 stereo repress). Spindle hole cut too tightly. But these are my only minor complaints. Overall, this sounds great and should be added to your collection!
Final Grade: 3.86
