    If you want to hear the clearest version of The man with the child in his eyes and Wuthering heights then listen to this pressing. Truly amazing.

      Wow, this is great. I have Canadian and U.K. First Pressings and the Fish People remaster, but to my ears this is the best-sounding of the bunch. The other First Pressings - vocals can sound quite brittle and shrill at times. Not this one. Also the best cover!

        This is the one to own. Silent vinyl and quality mastering (unlike the Japanese ‘The Dreaming’, which has zero bass and sounds completely anaemic)

          This pressing sounds fantastic. Found it for 300yen on my last trip to Japan. Score!
