    FYI, this is NOT the original album. Several of the tracks have been replaced with extended remixes that are not only TERRIBLE but they removed the many transitions/interludes that are so much apart of this LP. They really needed to this explicitly, I now understand the tacky cover change. Also, the sound quality is pretty underwhelming and the sticker on side B is messed up. So disappointed, why would they do this???

      Great album, masterpiece! I was listening the CD version for 20 years, and it's not bad, not too harsh on ears, like you could expect it, but this vinyl version is great. Lovely bass and better dynamics. And many songs are actually extended versions, so you'll get a slightly different experience than on CD version. Recommended.
