Despite DMM mastering, the bass still sounds clear and powerful. The whole listening experience gives you the raw power that Metallica was supposed to have. Highly recommend this copy!
-
I have several versions of this record, including the first US pressing. This is my preferred version, which I listen to the most. The bass and drums are the most powerful on this version. -
Listening as I write this. Sounds amazing I’m very impressed. Perfectly clear! I don’t need a first pressing so much anymore. -
A really good pressing, clear and good separation of the instruments. Silent and dynamic. -
Have this copy, seems to sound well in ex+ condition, of course. Listen to the Metallica from my childhood, Metallica - the best! -
Edited 11 years agoMy version has a red translucent vinyl disc with the above identifiers. But i cant find any notes about it.
