    The bottom end on this is crazy good with nice clear highs as well. Great pressing.

      I had no idea I had some odd edition of this album, found it second hand in some shop 30 years ago, complete with poster. No surface noise when you drop the needle, and Visconti's bass thunders. Literally my favorite sounding piece of vinyl.
