      Glad to have one of the '72 presses even though it's got a lot of pops on it (despite the fact it's pretty clean visually), there are too many to ignore. Luckily, however, on Supernaut and Snowblind, that isn't the case, and I have to say these song versions blow away the 2016 US remaster versions sonically, so that makes me happy.

        ok pretty pop free even after 100 plays but the mix is fairly muddy overal- listenable though- no worse than many 70s albumsl fuck the song changes- the rest of it is pretty good!

          My run outs are:
          Side A starts with- Side 1 BS-2602 B 40110-1 has a faint #2
          Side B is just BS-2602 JW2
