Trying to understand how this only has a 3.73/5 avg. rating for this pressing. It's a 32-year-old record, and yet my copy is PRISTINE. Dead quiet, phenomenal instrument separation, lively bass, what more can you ask for from a record? This sounds better than half the new pressings released today. -
I tried to submit the release year, because I bought the german pressing in 1984. I can I could hardly wait to own this album.
When I tried to submit my change it said this was a possible doublicat. I did not want to provide a new entry. Maybe someone else can add the year to this entry.
