        Great music and excellent pressing. Quiet and flat, and dynamics are excellent. Has depth and soundstage that no digital version can touch. Recommended.

            V dope pressing, crisp and rich. Pumped to own this jawn. Shinzo No Tobira is prolly in my top 100 favorite tracks.

              Sounds amazing, but a single disc 33RPM pressing would have been ideal. Flipping sides every 8-9 minutes is a bit much! Keep the 2x45RPM for a deluxe edition.

                  Audio quality is amazing, dont know why everyone is making a big deal about this being an amazing reissue tho, doesnt not even include any literature about the release or the people involved, how it came to be etc.

                  Incredible album but the label could have done some research or an interview, dug up some archival photos, anything to make it special.

                  Very happy nonetheless that this amazing record is back out there in some form!
