    Great music and artistry, music well recorded, low noise pressing, great dynamics and natural presentation.

      Can anyone comment on how this version matches up with the original Japanese pressing in of sound quality?

        Yes, it does have BG etched (verified from my personal copy). I have also added the matrix runouts. It also is a gatefold with the lyrics booklet.

          Does this version have BG in the dead wax? All of the other versions do, but I have a version that doesn’t have Bernie Grundman’s initials in the deadwax. My version also isn’t a gatefold and has RTH79478 in the deadwax of all sides

              I am commenting on the issue listed on this page. I bought this when it came out (1998). It was my most expensive record back then. The retail price was very high: 80 Deutsche Mark, equally to 40€. I could have bought three other LPs for that money. The sound quality is top, really nice pressing and mastering!

              I doubt that this is a reissue. This is the original US Pressing.

                Is this the version that's been recorded from original analog tapes?
