    fantastic pressing with a clear sound and strong dynamics throughout, packaging is a bit flimsy & the poster included is practically made of the single ply toilet paper. highly recommend this pressing, the way this album was intended to be heard

      Play this loud - one of the clearest records I own which fits this album incredibly well. Perfect pressing to my ears and a legendary album.

        I wasn’t impressed at first. I was listening through some powered Edifier speakers but I switched my set up and this pressing is actually fantastic. Full, not too bright and well balanced. Excellent pressing. Mastering is on point.

          This is an amazing quality pressing. I am really happy I recently picked a copy up. I was playing it and totally forgot that I was listening to a record. Great listening experience!

            Flimsy, will-this-do packaging but first-rate audiophile vinyl - everything sounds full, warm and dynamic. Very happy to have this masterpiece in my collection and I won't worry about seeking out any other pressing.

              Sounds great with clarity and loudness, the artwork is ok-ish but what matters most is the sound stage which is awesome. buy with confidence.

                The vinyl comes in a weird plastic sleeve. Like the poly liner in a sleeve

                  The records themselves I have no qualms about, sounding excellent with all the punch and dynamics you'd hope for on an album like this. The packaging and quality control however is extremely poor, from the gatefold itself bulging very easily and feeling very weak (as well as being aligned slightly wrong on my copy), to the poster being extremely small as opposed to what you'd hope for, to the label misspellings which (unlike what other comments say) still persist on copies to this day. If all this doesn't bother you and you're just here for sound quality though, this is a great pressing.

                      Great sounding pressing. Everything is well balanced, dynamic, and has a perfect level of sonic clarity for this album. Gatefold is standard but the album art is printed well. Can't comment on the poster because my used copy didn't come with it. The misprinting of "Silver Rocket" as "Silver Rockey" makes me laugh a bit every time I see it and I don't know why. Would highly recommend this pressing, it has me falling in love with this album all over again.
