I was having a hard time finding a reasonably priced clean AZ / Brian Gardner ABC copy. I saw the Canadian color vinyl SD releases are pretty well regarded, figured the Canadian black vinyl probably had the same mastering. After a couple of listens on my little Denon DP-15F and not comparing directly to my US copies -mastering leans bright compared to most of my vinyl, but I don't find it too offensive. With the low noise of the vinyl, the extra air helps some of the quieter ages. Maybe a bit hot/harsh on Caves of Alatmira and parts of The Fez but could be hitting the limits of this mid/lower end 80's TT/cart combo. I'll update if I hear different on my V15-IV but this this is going to end the hunt for a good copy for me unless we get a really good and affordable remaster somewhere along the line.
