    Easily one of the most dynamic pop LPs I own, and my system is NOT typically very dynamic. Really good sound, but I have yet to clean it and HOPE I can get rid of the tick that consumes half of the 2nd track.

      Excellent remastering. The lacquer cut seems very good to me. Good job overall…sonically a delight at this price level.
      But all the good work went down the drain with the GZ Media pressing; As much as I cleaned and cleaned it with my VPI Machine, the ticks were still there and especially at the end of side A (Susie / Rocket Man). The quality of the manufacturing material must be the worst. I'll keep playing this LP when I don't do clinical listening, otherwise I'd get mad!!!
      Good luck to those who got their Registration from a “clean” batch with no clicks or ticks on the surface.

          My copy of vinyl looks great but plays horribly.. Boomy, muddy, almost cancelling play itself. Deep cleaning did not help. Must have received a dud...

            Great pressing, as with all of Elton's current re-releases on vinyl. Love the leather feel of the cover as well!

              Very good pressing. Quiet, dynamic yet well balanced. Agreed that this belongs in the record collection for any Elton John fan.

                An essential purchase for any record collection. Great sound / packaging / pressing. Just buy it.
