    Not nearly as bad as all of the reviews here are making it sound. Definitely not an OG but decent enough for what it is. You want this record on wax and can get it at a decent price, I wouldn’t call you a fool.

      Yeah, Just picked it up from Walmart and it sounds veiled and muted. Not good at all

        Not amazing, but wouldn’t consider it as bad as most people here claim. Definitely a bit on the quiet side but other than that mastering is about what I’d expect from a modern 2010s reissue in the $15-20 price range. Definitely gets the job done for a more casual enjoyer of this album who doesn’t want to drop hundreds on an OG

          Wow! This sounds like shit. The other Maiden reissues have been great.

            The 2014 digital version sounds pretty low too but what's the best vinyl to get this album?

              Hot Garbage.
              I suffered with this miserable thing for way too long before finally breaking down and buying an OG Wally. I can't in good conscious give this turd away and inflict it on someone else.

                As others have said, this pressing has basically no dynamic range. I had to turn the treble on my receiver nearly to the max in order for it to be palatable. I would avoid this master and buy an older one.

                  Side 1 is very dull and lacks the detail I expect as a casual vinyl collector. Side 2 seems better but still slightly below the quality I am used to hearing.

                    There is a definite problem with this reissue. It sounds so bad I thought I blew out the phone stage of my receiver. Just has too many issues to mention. I received it as a gift or would have returned it after the first play. Will keep playing my original copy.
