Here's a what Tom Port from dccblowout.com has to say about this UK edition:
"Hot Stamper! This British original pressing (A1/B5) has SUPERB SOUND. I don't recall ever hearing this record sound better. I pulled out my CBS Half-Speed, my reference copy for sound on this album, and found it to be too bright on side 1."
"Side two of the Half-Speed sounded very good, but this British copy is richer, fuller, smoother and sweeter."
"Although that's not really fair, because unless you have access to minty British original pressings with good stampers -- like this one -- the CBS Half-Speed may be your best bet. I've never heard a domestic copy that was any good, so don't bother with those."
The record plays VG and comes with the original specially cut inner sleeve. The record rates 7 out of 10 and cover rates 8 out of 10.
