Edited 27 days agoI think this is a good pressing and should’ve been mastered by George Piros.
-
Great sounding pressing with great dynamics. These reissues were also pressed on virgin vinyl -
Nice pressing. Mine is on translucent vinyl when held to the light. Very quiet surface noise! Highly recommend!
