    Has a lot top end. Not to the point of making things thin or tinny. Just adds some sizzle and air to the cymbals etc.

      I just picked up a copy of this last week for 20 bucks. The jacket is near mint, and the vinyl sounded amazing for a 55 year old record with little surface noise!

        Nice pressing. Ozzy’s voice stands out nicely. Tony Iommi’s guitar work is fabulous.

          This pressing sounds so good. Terre is a great plant that I would argue rivals pitman pressing. I've had both and they both sounds top notch. Don't buy the over priced UK pressing that they bought for 5 bucks back in the day. Get this one.

            Excellent sounding version. The mastering is very hot and clean. It sounds HEAVY!

              Does anyone have this pressing? How does it compare to the Pittman?
