Unbelievable. Just perfect. This is better than the ‘08 Kevin Gray cut (which is great!) and kills the 2017 pressing. This has a very hot high end that balances on a crunching, pulsing low. But it truly shines in-between with crystalline detail in a wide 3D soundstage. This just sounds gigantic! Hearing Adrian Belew’s guitars with super hot texture is bliss. WOW. This is possibly the single best sounding LP I’ve ever spun. No hyperbole.
Final Grade: 5
