Among the best I've heard posted on 10/03/2023 5 Stars Reviewer: William I've been on a record-buying binge in the last few months, and quite simply, this is one of the best pressings I've heard out of the 250-300 albums I've purchased---the clarity, imaging, power and crispness are outstanding.

Superb posted on 08/12/2022 5 Stars Reviewer: Kregg Will make a believer out of anyone who doesn't believe in half speed. The best pressing of this I've ever heard.

Grundman and Gray proven wrong about half-speed masters posted on 07/20/2022 5 Stars Reviewer: Mark Swinford The sound quality of this half-speed master sounds full and rich -- very dynamic, lots of real analog punch! Probably better than if Grundman or Gray were to put out the same title on a 45 RPM version -- who both openly pooh-pooh half-speed mastering. This is the best sounding vinyl version I've ever heard of this title.
