Perfect Vinyl Pressing
5 out of 5 stars

Finally got around to playing this record for the first time, even though I've owned it since last year. I ran it through my Degritter Mark II before spinning it, and it's an excellent pressing. Listened to it on my audiophile system; I'd rate it a perfect 5 out of 5.
