I have 3 copies of this:
RCA Club, SP press (this listing), and a German Alsdorf press. They all skip, especially first track on both sides. Annoying.
I bought the RCA Club last but, without runouts listed--and I didn't ask--I got another SRC press. It is fantastic music though, and the cover is, I dunno, Rockwellish, cool? -
Such a good sounding record. So punchy and in the room. A really great pressing from a time when records were made with care. Highly recommended. -
Just picked this up for $8 at a used record store in Charlottesville, VA. Really nice condition!! And I agree with the previous comments, the sound is very nice -- warm, clear and full!! -
Very nice audiophile sounding pressing. Perhaps one of my top five sounding records. Lots of clarity in all the instruments. Must have been an all analog recording. Doesn't have that "thin and computer" digital sound typical of 80s records. -
