    This one is interesting as it has "POGO" in the dead wax. It is presumably using the same stampers as the US Presswell. However, it is cleaner than the US version. I don't find it any different in of the bass or other aspects of the sound signature.

    Also compared to the subsequent Japanese pressing, there's no real difference. Possibly a very very small one, but it's difficult to detect.

    Some Japanese pressings will have the lower end cut a bit. I don't see that as being the case for any of the Foreigner albums I own (Double Vision or otherwise). I think they kept Foreigner pretty accurate and true to their counterparts from other countries.

    Both Japanese pressings are of excellent quality and I prefer them over US versions. They are just a lot cleaner. It's possible that an early US pressing may be better (before the stampers wore down a bit), but the recycled vinyl is definitely noticeable and likely the bigger reason for the quality difference. The Japanese pressings are the way to go on this album and most Foreigner from what I have experienced so far.
