My copy is a gold stamped promo. I have the 2021 double LP clear vinyl and love it, but this is better. DMM stamped single vinyl delivers crystal clear high tones balanced with punchy bass lines, floating amid a 3D soundstage that has so many sonic nuances. Lou’s powerful voice is out front of the music. Nice snap to the snare drums. Wow. This is the pressing to own. And of course, it's a Robert Ludwig cut!!
Final Grade: 4.5
