The original pressing is outstanding, fabulous performance, incredible dynamic range and fidelity. However, a second copy purchased two years later was a fraud. No dynamics, a flimsy record and poor sound. There is no indication on the cover to warn the buyer that the record inside is not made from the direct matrix, but from a very poor tape recording. I recently dumped my second lousy copy to a second hand record store. The same happened when I bought a Harry James Sheffield suposedly "direct to disc".
