    An absolute perfection. This press is super balanced, clear and very enjoyable in overall. Very low surface noise and perfect channel separation. I love it. Album itself is a perfection and combined with a such great quality of the pressing it makes that release is an absolute winner.

      I have a clean copy of this vinyl version....The mastering is clean and balanced...Great listen from start to finish. LOVE Stranger in a Strange Land...This version Rocks HARD on a good system...great on headphones.

        Sounds excellent to my ear. Clear across the spectrum, no flaws. Bass are ok. Really good.

          An amazing record.
          Simply perfect.
          Once you spin the record on turntable, you might listen to it until the end without skipping any song.

            Are there any versions of this pressing without a barcode?

              Stumbled on this pressing in the wild and snatched it up. It sounds utterly amazing with just phenomenal mastering. Pressings don’t get better than this.

                Mine has considerable inner groove distortion on the last minutes of 'Alexander The Great'. Anyone else has this problem?

                  Had this album on CD, a good CD for years but after picking up this press in a shop in nearly mint shape, I'm newly blown away by it. Iron Maiden's best to me will always be the release that followed this one, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, but this might be my new second favorite. This album sounds great obviously, but there's so much background that's straight up lost on even a good quality CD. Masterpiece!

                    A great pressing, zero surface noise between songs. You actually forget it's not the CD!
                    This 1986 release by Iron Maiden is still the best thing they ever did and 35 years later, the whole record sounds tremendous. All metal classics, no fillers!

                      For me this is where the wheels started to fall off for Iron Maiden. I'm just not a fan of the keyboards & there are some really cheesy songs on it. After the first three songs I just have to move on. Even a band as great as Iron Maiden can toss out a stinker every once in awhile.
