    I'm surprised no one has commented on the sound of this release; it's amazing, so dynamic and detailed. I bought it for Crystal Japan but I fell in love with Alabama Song. It's such a strange song, and it's very enjoyable here. The mix and the mastering are ​​impressive, every instrument feels open and punchy, and the overall sound is breathtaking. Both songs sound far better than their digital counterparts available online. I'm very satisfied with this beautiful Japanese artifact.

      Can anybody here vouch for the actual length of the A-side? The U.K. released version always runs at about 3.09ish, is this version really 3.26? Thanks.
