Impressive Audio Reissue
4 out of 5 stars
tix.g.vSeptember 28, 2024United States🇺🇸
The audio quality is impressive. It's a well-balanced reissue. The midrange is quite prominent, and the highs come through clearly. However, the bass might be a tad stronger in certain tracks for my liking, but I haven't had the chance to compare it to the original pressings.
