Sounds fantastic. Buyer beware though, many sellers don’t realize that they actually have a reissue, so you have to ask them to double check the runouts. If it’s sealed, it’s highly unlikely that it is this original press. -

Does this first pressing suffer from the same surface noise and QC problems the reissues seem to suffer from? -
This is an extraordinary album and its intimacy comes across so much better on vinyl. It was a pricey purchase, but totally worth it.
