    It’s a masterpiece!
    It’s actually a great album. Ended up getting a great quality, clean copy for a steal on EBay. Turns out to be one of my favorite albums in my collection.

      I got a nm- copy of the RI (Richmond) for a great price, with the ATGP and all the 1’s in the dead wax. It’s the best i’ve heard, including the Bellman cut and the vinyl is better than the Diament CD, with ATGP (George Piros), at least on my gear and to these ears. A masterpiece.

        Great progressive rock album, the title track is truly remarkable. My pressing sounds great and full of life!
