Awful sounding. Sounds like it was sourced from super low bitrate MP 3s

Does anyone else have issues with this record? At the start of side A a B my stylus gets stuck in the grooves. The record is flat and doesn’t appear to be damaged at all! Such a shame as it’s a brilliant album

bad mastering, brickwalled, clipping. i though german sound engineers are more refined than this.

There is a repress of this edition produced on CD-R by the Lemon Recordings label, Catalog ID: CDLEM 207 and with Matrix code: (12089103) T80-UG-05. Is this a bootleg?

Not sure if it's just my copy being unlucky but mine came with an absolutely horrible warp

Extremely rare and a very, very desirable collectible on today's market for the Running Wild fan....~$250-$500 is fair and normal considering the rarity.

Any opinions how the sound quality compares to the original vinyl?

Original CD had it's issues for sure. I have OP CD, repressed remaster CD, and this remaster vinyl, but not original vinyl (aka OP vinyl). If anyone has both vinyl versions and throw a comment, thanks in advance. :)
