    Just incredibly good clear sound. 🖤 But was it really impossible to make a gatefold edition ? 😕

      I have this as well as the repressing of Machine Gun Etiquette from the same year and same company, however this sounds a lot more dynamic than my copy of MGE. I don’t know how that works where one album sounds better than the other while coming from the same company but it does!
