      This pressing is soooo good. I got the Promo version and it slaps.

        UK listing of the CD are all represses. Was there an initial release in the UK on CD or only as a repress?

          A pretty good pressing of one of the great records of its era. Sounds much more full and punchy than the very thin-sounding original CD. Definitely the best I’ve ever heard this album sound.
