Oh it sounds good. Very different from the 2022 MFSL pressing though! It’s less shouty and more leveled. It sounds smoother and more bassy. Sadly my copy has a light scratch on B side but otherwise it’s dead quiet and flat. -

Gotta really disagree with barsch2000 about his comment. I would check your VTA at least. Definitely not overly bright in my system. Extremely quite vinyl and a great mix. At times, cymbals can be a little spitty, but not overly bright at all. -
Waaay too bright. The hi-hat in "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" will saw your ears off. It's really a pity because the pressing quality and the overall separation of the instruments are fantastic. But as it is, this UHQR is virtually unlistenable and not worth a fraction of the price. Buy the UK original press or the new MFSL instead.
