    Not the best sounding for me. Did not have Great dynamic, sounds ok... but not Great. IMO this release could have been a two-disc presentation, like "A Light for Attracting Attention." This could have improved the audio quality by compressing the songs less.

      This is a really nice pressing...Nice and quiet with good separation. Really happy with my purchase.

        Unfortunately can't recommend this one, brand new copy had audible scratches across two of the tracks for about a minute each. Even aside from that, the thing is cut pretty quiet which emphasizes the surface noise, and overall mastering is pretty muddy and unimpressive. Pretty annoyed as I purchased a copy from Japan to avoid the infamous QC issues in the US - and it seems I got a dud copy, too.

          I bought both US blue and black pressings, and this blue pressing. This is the best of the three I've tested, least surface noise and great dynamics.

            I had to sent it back, the first track on the first side had a white noise in the right channel when played.
