amazing sounding pressing of one of the best 80’s pop albums. this one deserves to be played loud!

This one disappointed. I expected better .7/10..planning to try a US Original.

This is an outstanding record. The production/mix and pressing are fantastic on this release. The soundstage is full and very dynamic. I forgot how good this album sounded until I gave it a spin recently.
