    This OG pressing sounds great. In my humbled opinion, it’s the best album by Sir Elton John.

      Wonderful music ruined by the shrill, sibilant, loud and flat pressing done on Sides 1 and 4 here at Gloversville. Oddly enough, Sides 2 and 3 sound quite dynamic and quiet. Different cutters perhaps? Such a disappointment, though, on the half the sides!

        "Roll-fold sleeve" in which sense? I have a copy of this pressing and it has the classical tri-fold sleeve.
