    Really nice and clear sounding recording, great one. Always questionable whether it makes sense to buy used vinyl of albums you already own as a CD, but this one was worth it already because of the great Alain Delon picture on the cover.

      Is there an OIS? I think, this gatefold has no OIS - the text is inside the gatefold.
