I suspect no one will agree... but I do so love this album. It actually has more subtle information than maybe any rock album I've heard aside from it. To truly displace the singing voice is something else. There's a lot of small volume changes, and whomever did the recording etc captures the hell out of the "prat" of the guitars and such.

Nope...I agree with you. Great, fun album. Also agree about the prat. But I never thought it was well recorded until I bought the Fritzes AND upgraded my UberBUSS to the Uber Puerto receptacles.

Having a first pressing that is mastered by Bob Ludwig is important. All of the first catalog number are his masters.

I bet it's been 20years since my copy has seen daylight.  Sure 'nuf, there's that RL scribbled in the deadwax.  I'll have to clean it and put on tomorrow.   :thumb:
