    I Got This As A Present From Someone That Used To Work For WEA International Back In The 80's. Sounds Great But Quite Bright When It Comes To The Vocals On Some Tracks. Drums Really Knock On This Which Is Essential For That Purple Rain Era Prince Sound, Ive Heard Copies That Don't Have That And I Would Suggest Staying Away From Them. Not As Smooth Overall As The First USA Pressings But Still A Great Sounding Disc.

      Very very good edition, with clear sound.
      The guitar sound a little bit too low in my taste.
