    Wow und nochmals wow! Das ist mal wirklich ein ganz großes Erlebnis! Für so etwas wurde der Begriff Audiophil erfunden

      Never seen a LP that flat. Holy cow. The sound won't knock you socks off, but it substantially better than any release to date (CD or LP) and I've had most of them since I was a kiddo. Well done to all involved.

        Best MFSL I own, best MFSL I’ve ever heard. Completely brilliant.

          Great album and best possible pressing. Still so very bone-chillingly relevant!

            Spine typeset is compressed. Unique of all MoFi albums I've seen. Anyone else notice this?

              Can someone please comment on the pressing quality of this release? This is one of my favourite albums of all time and I would really like to know if it's worth spending 100 euros for this. Much appreciated!
