  • Timeless Pop Audiophile Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    qcyok6 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    This is a fantastic-sounding record, on par with audiophile quality releases. It's also a timeless pop album.

  • Mixed Quality Vinyl Pressing

    4 out of 5 stars
    SiNiCiv4 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    Purchased this brand spankin' new and sealed straight from Amazon. My copy's pretty warped and not all that centered. It's not the greatest pressing or mix out there… It does sound a tad better than the digital stream, but don't go expecting a total transformation. My copy's got a pressing flaw (like a tiny nut) on B2, but thankfully it doesn't mess with the sound. The dynamics are a bit squished and the overall sound's somewhat muffled. Good air and space in the midrange, especially for the piano and vocals. Okay separation. Super quiet, but there's a bit of surface noise and some pops on B3, though it's not too bothersome. 4.45 / 5

  • Rare Early Mono Pressings

    5 out of 5 stars
    FocVeujquj12 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Hit the shelves back in '80. But they yanked it off so fast, most folks never even seen it. A couple mono pressings somehow slipped through, though.

  • Gorgeous Pressing, Crisp Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    HC617 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely gorgeous pressing. The sound is crisp, with a wide soundstage, fantastic separation, and a bass that's punchy but not overpowering. Go ahead and buy with your eyes closed.

  • Gorgeous Pressing, Grab Confidently

    5 out of 5 stars
    WQ467 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely gorgeous pressing. Crisp, wide soundstage, fantastic separation and punchy but not overpowering bass. Grab it with confidence, eyes closed.
