80s OJC Pressing: Warm, Clear Sound
4 out of 5 stars
utatfFebruary 25, 2024United States🇺🇸
Fantastic audio quality, every instrument is distinctly audible, lovely soundscape, it has that warm analog feel. As far as I'm aware, these 80s OJC pressings were indeed AAA. My professionally cleaned, looks brand new, copy has a bit of faint noise and minor ticks here and there. It doesn't interfere with my listening enjoyment and I can't tell if this is just an issue with my particular album or the whole batch.
