The solid tracks on this album are incredible ... Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule, Head Over Heels, Mother's Talk ... but when you think about albums on the whole, this one has only eight songs, and a couple of them are just throwaways. What it had going for it were those four killer songs. -

Edited one year agoLove the music! My cd sounded so good, I bought the lp thinking is surely would be better. It is, but I had to find the correct VTA.
There are no pops or scratches, and the pressing is fairly flat. -

This pressing is excellent and sounds so much better than the digital version. It’s warm but accurate, punchy with great midrange.
