Holy shit. No seriously… Holy. Fucking. Shit. This thing explodes from your speakers! It’s hot, raw and intense in the best way possible. Perfectly balanced low end but razor sharp on the top. Detail and separation clear as day in a 3D soundstage. A HUGE soundstage!! Wow, my jaw is still agape. I only know their music through remasters and represses, so this is a revelation. Though my favorite was the Kevin Gray Rhino Hi Fidelity cut, this is the one I’ll spin from now on.
Final Grade: 4.4
