The original 1978 LP and the 1985 CD have the best sound. Later releases are victims of the loudness war.
-
I have 2 versions of this. The one with the red centre labels has a bizarre s shaped kink in the grooves during the intro. Pumps my speaker cones too. It's very warped! I also have a later version with orange/ yellow stickers which does not sound quite as lively but okays ok without stylus paranoia! -
Hello everyone !
I have the, what seems to be a limited, pressing of Sony/CBS in a linnen/cardboard Red Box, containing Vinyl Gatefold, Novel book and some prints .....
Anyone have a clue to which version ( above?) this one relates ??
Thanks in advance & happy listenings !
