    This sound quality on this reissue is ridiculously good. Highly recommended!

      This is your only option if you want a decent sounding version of this album and the original pressing isn't an option. Tapes were apparently lost for this album so this 1983 King release was probably the last taped source version, or it was taken from a very clean copy of the original LP because the sound is sensational. The Si-Wan triple LP is absolutely gorgeous on the outside but they used the King CD as a source, and it is quite a bit tipped up in the treble. Everything after 1995 gets sourced from the 1995 remaster done by Pietro Pellegrini (which was run through Sonic Solutions No-Noise) so the AMS LP is not a good option. It has been worked on a bit but clearly originates from this same CD because all of the air in the recording is sucked dry. And the triple g/f artwork is washed out and dull. A good option instead of spending a fortune on an OG is to get the King/Seven Seas for listening and the Si-Wan triple g/f reissue for looking. That will save you a small fortune.
