Edited 7 months agoMust respectfully disagree with the first two reviews of this masterful pressing by Jack Adelman. For me, the work of Scheiner and Marcussen added to JA's cut is what makes this a sonic marvel. Cut really hot, as typifies mid-1980s AAA major studio output. -
Edited one year agoDecent pressing. Decent soundstage. Sounds bright and bassy. Sounds a bit digital with hints of sibilance at high volumes. -
Sounds good overall, but a bit congested on the upper mids and highs, so there's a lack of 'airiness' that would define a great vinyl pressing. Seems like the digital process has impacted what should have been a musical masterpiece of a pressing. It could use a bit more fullness on the bottom end too.
