Edited 5 months agoThis has to be the best this album was ever heard. If there is a better pressing out there I’d like to see it. This pressing makes this their best album. -
Edited one year agoIncredible recording, full and big but with laser like precision. The Japanese lyrics on Dentaku (Pocket Calculator) are the only thing that's not perfectly audible, as they sound like they were recorded on a cheap home tape machine when compared to the English lyrics, but that's the only weak spot. Everything else is spectacular.
The Japanese pressing is dead quiet, and shows off the music very well. I don't have any other 1st pressing to compare, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me this is the best one. -
