Faust – Faust

I don't own any other copies, but like other 70s and 80s Japanese copies, this copy has extremely sharp hard clear sound quality. The sharp hard clear Japanese copy is perfect for this album, perhaps because warm bass is not needed much in this album.

I managed to find a great copy of this original Japanese pressing at 1,2,3,4 Go Records during a 30% off sale so I paid $70. It's in perfect shape with insert and obi. Vinyl looks and sounds unplayed. I will have to agree with the other comment left for this release. I have original Polydor clear vinyl versions. Recommended clear vinyl versions. And even one of the black vinyl version. Nothing sounds as good as this version. This is the one you need if you've always wondered what this record sounds like without all the pops and noise associated with every release of this record....except for this Japanese pressing. Beautiful to hear!

I've had UK clear and black '70s pressings on Polydor, a clear German Polydor, the clear Recommended one and an opaque modern pressing with a clear sleeve. This Japanese pressing trumps all of them for sound quality, the vinyl is quiet and the music is dynamic.
