    I didn't like the sound of this edition, sounds like it was sourced from a CD. I have the first US pressing and it blows this one out of the water.

      Beautiful distortion free pressing of the iconic "The Album". Most vinyl masters have major problems on side one. This Back2Black deluxe repress is the one to get.
