    I just picked up a used copy at one of my local shops. I’m very impressed with this pressing. Records are mostly flat. Clean with barely any pops or clicks. It’s such a warm, rich sounding record. Love the booklet with the dog pics.

      I hear low background noise when starts side C, otherwise it sounds great! I will try to clean the records...

        Side C is fantastic!. Three perfect tracks in a nice beat, even with some “Beach Boys” backings on the title track. The guitar work on Living in America is awesome. ‘I was not born, into this world, to do another man’s bidding’

          Got a perfect disc, sounds rich, warm and huge stage. 45rpm adds smoothness to this full ernergy disc, just amazing result.

            A couple raised bumps on side two of LP 1, otherwise clean and flat pressings with a nice dynamic sound. It's a sad day when GZ can press better records than RTI.

              First copy was warped, second flat and quiet. If you're lucky and get a good one it's a fantastic pressing.

                My copy is dead silent on a pretty revealing system. Washed on a VPI 16.5. Great pressing. I was worried but glad I took a chance.

                  Had two copies; both warped - disc 2 offcenter and reluctantly returned them. Not paying €40 for subpar pressing. Such a shame
