Nice quality vinyl, thick but not quite heavyweight, feels sturdy compared to a lot of the very thin vinyl coming out of the US in the 70s.
The cover is a different story, however. It is very thin and flimsy, the glossiness is nice but the paper they used is just far too thin. You'd be pretty lucky to find a copy of this with the cover in good shape. -
Excellent sound quality with this version. Punchy and dynamic which blooms with increased volume. The vinyl is quiet from a noise perspective and of a reasonable weight too. As some others have noted the cover does appear to have been copied poorly but this seems to add to its charm however, the gatefold cover feels a bit on the flimsy side compared to other DP gatefold covers I have albeit UK pressing’s. Nice large fold out paper poster included with the lyrics on which is a bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this pressing. -
It seems like back in the day somebody just took an offcenter photograph of the original cover and used it as this versions cover. That's a new dimension of lazyness. -
