    Confirmed….never sold this pressing after buying early UK releases. Reason: absolutely impressed, the sound is great and this pressing could be the last one for a collector (on his journey searching the best sounding version of this release)….

      Simply an amazing, top notch pressing, much like everyone else has said. Everything is balanced, open and seamless here, and Bowie's vocals also don't suffer from sibilance like they do on a lot of pressings. Absolutely recommended.

        I followed the reviews I read here and honestly, I am amazed by this pressing... Strong dynamics, clear sound... I don't need any "off the price" OGs copies, totally satisfied with this one.

          Completely agree with the positive reviews on this pressing. Absolutely brilliant. So clear, dynamic and full range sound. Good quality vinyl too. Nice and quiet pressing. Buy this and you’re good to go.

            Unbelievable pressing! Researched and found this was THE pressing to own and could not agree more.

              Piero did a bang up job with this pressing. Crisp and powerful.

                Really top notch pressing of a Hunky Dory. More energetic than the early UK pressings (3T/3T Rasputin or my favourite, the later 5E/3E) and more detail as well. It really suits some of the songs very well.
