Even though this is of questionable origins it sounds good to me. I am far from an expert on sound quality but this plays nicely.

So, how good or bad is this reissue? I am sceptical as well...

I was relieved at the sound quality of this pressing. I’m far from an audiophile expert but I know the difference between simply bad or good. This was the latter.

How’s the sound quality on this? The price is making me a bit sceptical.
