    This is a very good pressing. Vibrant and full. Squire’s bass cuts through perfectly and Anderson’s vox are right out in front. And we needed a remix, why?

    EDIT: Okay, should have let the record run a little longer. There is a decent amount of distortion during the organ solos especially. Maybe another cleaning will help, but my copy is already NM.
