Why does nobody telling about the oddness of the second record of this album! Is it too normal to put things like that or what! ^^
Not one bad title on this record btw! Really enjoying listening through the whole piece here! Good work, good voice!

This is a really amazing souding record; a lot of depth and detail. One of the best sounding records I own. -
Edited 4 years agoI don’t know what listening value the second LP adds, but it’s a fun talking point when touring the record shelf. My copy sounds excellent, very good audio!
Does anyone know how many this pressing was limited to? -
I am no audiophile, but this copy sounds flat to me. No matter what EQ adjustments I make. The digital music sounds fuller. I recently played some other records that sounded fine, so I don't think it's my setup.
