    Fantastic pressing. The sound ist great, very dynamic and crystal clear. Interesting color of the vinyl, I’ve never seen this color before.

      I have a German pressing. Sleeve, labels and runout etching match up perfectly. Except the title on the sleeve is not embossed. Also, I'm unsure of the difference between black and charcoal...

        Anybody get bad sibilance on the vocals with an “s”? Checked all my adjustments and they’re fine. Disappointing for a German pressing.

          Charcoal or black.
          How to tell the difference between the two releases ???
