This 1980's reissue really caught me off guard with its soundstage – it's incredibly lively and, in my opinion, acousticly recorded to perfection. It's a fantastic record that's a joy to listen to, and for just €10, it's a steal. Now I'm curious about the original pressing and eager to do a side-by-side comparison.
