FlatWaxAU Jul 13, 2023
Only echoing the below. Stellar pressing / low-noise flaw / wide soundstage / bass for days / clear separation of all instruments, and heavy-duty artwork. 10/10
Technocentral Jun 8, 2023
Edited one year ago

Great pressing, got this on a recent trip to Japan in Book Off in Osaka , NM cover with OBi and inserts and what looks and sounds like unplayed record for 900Yen (around €6).

This particular press sounds amazing! Dead quiet as most have mentioned and the overall mix of instrumentation is beautifully done. The production value on this record is awesome.

Dead silent pressing - let the rains bless your setup!

Sound 9/10
Vinyl 10/10 - Literally zero noise floor!
Music 9/10

Fantastic pressing!
Texasbear Aug 27, 2013
I have this album and everything about it is exactly as the listed version . The difference with the copy I own is that it has the OBI along the top edge of the album instead of the typical sash type . Anyone else have this version? I know that it is authentic as everything else is right on target as far as mastering, same exact catalog # and everything. It has the inner lyric sheet with English on one side and same pictures on the other. Also has a post card in Japanese to order three other Toto albums.
