Trex
Yes I also have been really pleased with the quality of these remastered issues. This is a killer album anyway with great dynamics so it would take a chimp with a hammer to produce a bad album from this monster...dunno how many people wouldn't rate this music in their top 5 albums, listening to it again, after all these hundreds of years, or at least it feels that way since their singles from this album were hits!

Frei
I was hesitant about the sound quality of this particular pressing but went for it and to my surprise this is a very good version afterall.

romrom
Stars indicate my personal liking on the album itself. However, I'd give 3/5 for the pressing as well..

Ueledavi
Yet your review suggests the pressing is bang average...3 out of 5 stars?
