    Going to the EQ and turning up the bass and mids a bit really evens the shrillness of the original recording out, and it ends up sounding pretty solid.

      Overall this sounds great. A bit of unevenness regarding how well certain tracks were recorded, but I’m pleased with this press. Bass is punchy throughout and soundstage is fairly big. Bruce’s voice is forward, as it should be. “Drive All Night” sounds incredible and huge - I was shocked at how good this track sounded. Worth picking up for the price clean copies are currently going for.
