  Funny thing, the one I just got has this hype sticker and my record is black. It’s my fav color though. All good, just wondering

• Remastered Album Impressive

  5 out of 5 stars

  Wow, this album is absolutely fantastic! I've only ever owned a low-quality sounding pressing before this one. From what I understand, they remastered it using the original tapes? I might have reduced the high end just a bit, then it would be flawless. My copy has a few minor pops and ticks after giving it an ultrasonic clean. It appears there's no way to distinguish that it's the Speaker's Corner version except for the sticker on the front.

• VMP Version Wins

  Outstanding mastering and pressing throughout. I absolutely adored this one and it was my top pick for a long time. But I gotta admit, I lean a bit more towards the VMP version. It's all about the packaging for me, plus Ryan's mix and the mono sound—that's the copy I keep reaching for over this Kevin Gray cut. I even gave this reissue away 'cause it just wasn't getting any playtime when the VMP was right there beside it. It's totally a matter of personal taste. You can't go wrong with either one.

• Top-Notch Tunes and Quality

  The tunes on this one are truly top-notch, no doubt about it. The sound quality is phenomenal, with rem rei that's absolutely superb. The pressing is excellent, flat as a pancake and practically noise-free. The gatefold cover is sturdy and well-made. It's hard to ask for more than this. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's into this particular style.
