Scorpio Pressing Impresses
5 out of 5 stars

I picked this up a while ago and hadn't given it a spin in ages. I must say, for a Scorpio pressing, it sounds fantastic. There's just a slight warp on the disc, which is pretty normal with these pressings. All in all, I'm really glad I grabbed this one.
RVG Mastered Gem
5 out of 5 stars

The mastering and pressing quality on this record are truly excellent. I'd bet it's sourced from an RVG mastered digital file, as it's got that signature RVG sound - a bit hotter with enhanced highs. My copy is flawless, with no noise or pressing defects. It's a fantastic pickup at any price, and an absolute bargain under $20.
