    This is it! The holy grail! I need to thank the previous reviewers for pointing me in the right direction. After decades of going through noisy UK pressings, I finally found a clean pressing without clicks or pops, sounding absolutely glorious.

      I already got desperate if I would ever find a good sounding and clean copy of this record. I’ve had two 1987 originals with ticks and pops. I then tried the new 2021 remix which also was noisy. And I somehow was not impressed with the sound of that version either. I then found this Canadian version at local record store and FINALLY!

      This is a very good pressing practically without any clicks and pops. And very happy with the sound stage. You can really hear that the drums and bass were recorded analogue. Just crank up the volume and you will be happy.
