    Solid pressing. A very underrated Petty album. "King's Road" is a good rocker.

      I being a bit disappointed in this "back in the day" after Damn The Torpedoes but it has aged well. The copy I have sounds great although there's some surface noise that's really only noticeable between tracks..

        Sounds nice, good detail, clear as a bell & beautifully balanced bass. But the real star here is TP's voice, which sounds so alive & natural its ridiculous...
