Edited 11 months agoTotally agree with everyone, this is a fantastic pressing! Huge soundstage and tons of detail within. Even for a VG copy, mine sounds terrific. -
Edited 11 months agoA terrific pressing. Sounds bloody fantastic. The bass is taking centre stage here--not bloated or woolly, but powerful, textured, agile and raw in the best analogue way. Buy it! -

Really good pressing sounds clear, loud bass, ronsons guitar is right on spot. Vocals are fronted and bright.

Edited 3 years agoI'll agree on the sound here. The BASS is so good. Super pressing. Affordable and perfect.
Also, this record is super light/thin and is proof that heavy 180-200g pressings are a waste of wax.
The needle doesn't know how thick the record is. Snake-oil! Stop wasting material on heavy pressings thicker than an audiophiles skull.

My Dynaflex 1972 pressing is an absolute MONSTER, worth searching out, MASSIVE sound that jumps out of the speakers; Bass, Vocal, Soundstage all there in shovel fulls - as dynamic a pressing of ANYTHING you will find. While the music is dystopian themed, it’s retains a dreamy beautifulness full of meandering melodic peaks and valleys. Worth seeking out a clean copy - since Dynaflex, you MUST have someone playgrade it as MOST Dynaflex tends to be on the noisy side or worse even when the vinyl looks mint. You have been warned. Pro-tip: just listen with volume up for noise between A1 and A2 usually does the trick and will expose a too noisy record.
My matrixes:
Label- Side A : LSP-4816 (BPRS-4512)
Label- Side B : LSP-4816 (BPRS-4513)
Matrix Side A : BPRS 4512 2S A2 I
Matrix Side B : BPRS 4513 2S A2 I
