    Fantastic sound quality. I can only recommend this version. Although I am not a fan of re-releases.

      Am I the only one having both sides printed as "Side 1"?

        Yes I also have been really pleased with the quality of these remastered issues. This is a killer album anyway with great dynamics so it would take a chimp with a hammer to produce a bad album from this monster...dunno how many people wouldn't rate this music in their top 5 albums, listening to it again, after all these hundreds of years, or at least it feels that way since their singles from this album were hits!

          I was hesitant about the sound quality of this particular pressing but went for it and to my surprise this is a very good version afterall.
