    Excellent pressing. Significantly better than the 2018 Fish People pressing IMO, which I found a bit muddier. This is crisp and clear with a wide soundstage.

      Reviewing every record in my collection;

      Bought this one a few weeks ago, and it sounds superb! My second Japanese pressing from her besides "The Dreaming". I was lucky enough to have found this one at a store at a great price (they had lots of pressings of this album, among the m the Argentinian, UK and Japanese one, I picked up these one because of Japanese vinyl reputation and a great experience with the Dreaming one) and, I don't Know how the Remaster may sound, but you can hear every detail there is in here to be listened, and her voice sounds crystal clear. Definitely a must have.

      Updated Thoughts; I still think this is a Marvelous Pressing, a bit too bright at some times (especially near the runnout grooves) but still the quality of this one is superb. A 9 out of 10
