    Purists may be put off by the use of digital in the process, but this pressing sounds pretty good to my ears. Nice separation and bass sounds nice. Never listened to this album in its entirety, and don't have an original pressing to compare it to, and I'm not a professional sound engineer, but it's a pleasure to listen to and worth getting if you're interested in having a copy.

      Digital master that was apparently made in reference to the original UK LP, so that the CD version would sound as much as possible like the OG vinyl. Sounds good on vinyl, even if there's some irony involved.

        Mine has lot of pops from the first time, the sound is poor like a bad production, maybe i had bad luck with the copy. Will try with another edition.

        The 4 stars are for the Album, a super classic of D.B.
