That Picture Disc is one of the positive exceptions when it comes to dynamics and soundstage. This one Sounds rich and bright, only in quiet ages you can hear the background noise of the picture inlay. Bit as Insaid: the dynamics of the groove is awesome, so that noise isn‘t really hurting. Positively surprised! -

Edited one year agoI would prefer a true reissue on black vinyl with inner sleeves etc but this is actually the best sounding version I have heard. You just have to deal with the minor defects and hiss that seem to be unavoidable with a picture disc.

unlistenable. unplayable. skips all over the place. disappointed in all these cure re releases. makes me not want to listen to my favorite albums :(

Edited 2 years agoNot in my wildest mood swings would I buy a picture disc.
I took a chance on this European pressing because of the positive reviews here.
Must it, I'm glad I did. It's not flawless, but it doesn't leave me wanting.
It's mostly quiet, mostly. Very flat. Great dynamics and soundstage, bright in a nice way. And, yeah, looks kinda cool, too.

I must be the only one that thinks this picture disc is terrible. Quality from UMC records up to their usual standard. A 3-5mm wide audible scratch on R1 side A, run in track 1 on R1 side B sounded like a 1950's haulage train. R2 is wispy and flat. Both records are super low gain.
I will never buy a picture disc again, I am also cautious of these new coloured 180g records these days especially the RSD copies. Original vinyl is the best apart from some band sanctioned releases and the certified Abbey Road HS Remasters. -
This is an amazing pressing, easily the best picture disc i’ve heard. I love this album so much and it’s nice to have an affordable copy. the picture discs also look nice, and are very thick. the only negative is the sleeves the records come in are made of PVC, which can damage the vinyl. but once you switch those sleeves out, you are left with a really nice sounding and looking set.
5/5 -

Excellent release with heavy weight picture discs and gatefold cover. Dead quiet great sound without flaws or issues, IMO better than the original release in every way. Really a must have.
