    Awesome pressing. Too much rich and dynamic. Clean sound and decent packaging too.

      That harsh review is nonsense: the remastering is superb and the pressing is very good, quiet and resonant. But…it is way off center like so many records printed in these early years of the vinyl renaissance were. An additional annoyance is the fact that they didn’t seem to understand that the blue side is the front cover so the track titles are backwards and the photo on the gatefold is upside down. Oh and the labels are also on the wrong sides. I’m glad I got this when it came out though: damn this is expensive now.

        This is terrible, the original is way better. I'm guessing that other guy's piano issue was destroyed, because it sounds a lot better than this. Loads of noise, probably "remastered" to make Horizontal Hold punch more.

          I am impressed by how fantastic the remastering of this record is. The sleeve is made of a very sturdy material and I enjoyed the insights given from the included booklet.

            Two very contrasting reviews regarding quality of press here. Anybody chime in for a majority?

              I have the original Piano issue and I must say that this record has never sounded as good as on this reissue. I'm hearing so much more details, so it's like discovering it all over again. The record itself is a little bit warped but it doesn't affect the sound. However there is a little noise, here and there, which shouldn't happen. Nevertheless I'm very happy with this purchase and I recommend to buy it. You wouldn't be disappointed.
