Dead quiet and excellent sounding. Don’t have an original US to compare but this sounds amazing and has lots of bass and punch. This also features the original version of “Rock With You” without the hand claps and I also believe it has the original mix of “Get on the Floor”. This might be easier than getting an original US original with the original mixes. I’d say this might be an “audiophile” pressing. Recommend it.

Man, what a beautiful pressing. Powerful, tight bass. Open, airy with tons of detail. It’s like listening to it for the first time…….again. 5 stars.
