The only other version of this album I’ve heard is the 24-bit 96 kHz FLAC 2016 remastered version and this pressing blows it out of the water. It’s very quiet and has an impressive soundstage. Phenomenal pressing.
10/10 -
I have this Specialty press and compared to my 1st Megaforce press this makes much more sense. The price, it's cheaper and it sounds absolutely stunning. This is a killer releases w/ such a depth, and it sounds like James is standing in the room singing. I use to spin this more than my Megaforce 1st press... it says a lot about this release. A must for every RTL fan... -
Edited 7 months agoSince no one (incredibly) has made a review of this pressing, I'll write my 2¢ worth. This pressing f*cking R O C K S. Fantastic soundstage, great depth in the bass and rhythm section along with James vocals and guitars. Superb imo.
