    Wonderful remaster on wonderfully pressed vinyl. These discs are dead silent! Pretty fantastic packaging too, a booklet extra would have been nice though.

      Sound: perfect sound and volume, not background noise at all. A delight!

        Any thoughts on this; mine's still in transit. Sound? Packaging? Gatefold? Merci!
