Sounds great to me. Very affordable OG press. As to the left channel bias discourse... I've noticed a lot of people say this about Sade's discography from the OGs to newer re-issues, so I assume that's intentional. It's hardly noticeable.

On my pressing, sound balance is for some reason shifted toward left channel. But overall quality is very good, so I don't mind.
