    This record is powerfull and rich in dinámics and bass. The mid range are well manage and the upper is top notch. I don't find in my copy the 2 seconds miss intro in "Spirit in the material world" to mention. Great recording and press.

      Unfortunate about the opening to Spirits, because otherwise this is a nice full-bodied pressing.
