    Yeah this US press doesn’t sound the best. Does need a remix I agree

      One of my fave Maccas, but this album really needs a proper mix. Muffled drums, muddled bass, everything sounds like it was recorded underneath blankets. This pressing does the best it can with the source materials. My copy plays clean, with occasional light surface noise.

        Is this any different from Wings (2) - Venus And Mars? Looks identical to me
