The 1987 European (most likely German) DMM pressing is nothing short of HORRIBLE! I grew up listening to the US EMi Manhattan 1987 CD and I understand this is a digital recording, but the DMM makes it sound REALLY HARSH. Brittle. Not enjoyable at all. You're better off with a UK or US pressing of the time, or the 2018 remaster. Just avoid this DMM pressing. It's not a good demonstration of what the technology can do or maybe this is the wrong album to master that way.

It seems like some were sold with a sticker on the front cover »Incl. NO.1 HIT "It's A Sin"« AND TOP-HIT "What Have I Done To Deserve This?"
