    About 4mm warped, but good sound, dynamic, clear. Could have been better.

      This remaster sounds great on my system. If you dig early Cave & Bad Seeds, where theyre a little more gritty and raw, where they still can bring back the Birthday Party feeling but on the softer songs show whats gonna come, this is for you.
