Rock solid pressing! After reading reviews I made sure to thoroughly clean the wax, and my copy is dead silent. The dynamic range here is incredible but that's no surprise with a Masterdisk OG stamper. I can't compare to the CD or repress since I haven't owned this for decades in any format. But a nice copy appeared in a recent collection so had to spin it. What I can report is that this is very sharp and well balanced and just sounds fantastic. The kick drum hits hard. Highest recommendation.
Final Grade: 4.28
