    Normally, I avoid club pressings, but a seller I was already buying from had a good price on it, and since it was cut at Sterling Sound like the retail original, I decided to chance it. Wise decision: It sounds amazing. If you find a good deal on this one, don't it up.

      This is a great press of this album! Dynamic with very well-defined bottom end. I also have a 1978 German press of this and this pressing blows the German press away. The German press sounds constrained and boxy when compared to this one.
