Ultimate Sound Perfection
5 out of 5 stars
TevHukcamike18 November 2025United States🇺🇸
Sound is absolutely fantastic! LOs are crystal clear and HIs are perfectly balanced!! This is the ultimate version.
Неплохая запись, лучше Wonderworld
4 out of 5 stars
Gupufh23 October 2025United States🇺🇸
Не могу понять, почему тут такая низкая оценка. Книга в целом нормальная, записана не близко к центру. Звук не идеальный, но 4 из 5 точно заслуживает. В отличие от альбома "Wonderworld", который действительно записан ужасно.
Grey Vinyl Remaster Delight
5 out of 5 stars
ptxjirmeahr7 October 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧
This remaster sounds really great. The artwork and the grey vinyl go together perfectly. It might not be the most dynamic pressing/remaster out there, but I'm really happy with it. The LP is completely silent.
Lively but lacks bass
5 out of 5 stars
zedsez9019 August 2025United States🇺🇸
My version is crisp and lively as well, yet it's missing some low-end.
Poor Quality United Pressing
3 out of 5 stars
migeqib6443 August 2025United States🇺🇸
Awesome album, poor quality disc. Just your standard United pressing: skips, scratches on the vinyl, bent. Swapped it out 3 times - same problems. Not a well-made pressing. Audio's alright, nothing extraordinary.
